Wales v South Africa

Well that was a lot closer than I expected. And a lot closer than I would have thought possible given that the Welsh scrum was utterly marmalised every time. Every scrum's a penalty.
A few positives for Wales, certainly more than last week. Pitch invaders really need to work on their timing though.

So after they dragged that bellend off the pitch... they just let him go to meet his mate in the pub and collect the £20 bet he just won
His name and the club he plays for are all over social media. He'll probably want to avoid getting caught at the bottom of a ruck for a while
Needs to go in to witness protection

FIFY.

But one of the pre-requisites for witness protection is not being an attention seeking little turdweasel

Very frustrating game from a South African perspective. The game showed two and half issues that the Boks have been dealing with all season.
Looking at the game, we kept Wales to 130 running meters and it didn't feel like we were losing the kicking battle. So how did the Welsh manage to score 18 points? Through penalties, duh... But it wasn't just the six penalties that they put over - just about all the field position the Welsh were able to gain came from South African offences. I didn't think Williams was great (he hammered on some minor issues while missing some major ones), but we need to be better at navigating the referee's interpretation.
The second issue is our inability to finish off half and full chances. Just some examples - Jantjes getting caught with ball after De Allende's break in first half (half chance), Reinach failing to link up with Mapimpi after Reinach made that great break (full chance), Am's kick and regarher to set up on the Welsh five meter (half chance). Convert one or two of those and the game looks completely different.
Related to this - we are struggling to set up chances. We had 60odd percent territory, much of it around the Welsh 22, but as soon as the attack got stalled, we had no way of getting it going again. Props to the Welsh for defending bravely, but we did not make it difficult enough.
All in all, a win is a win, but there is an alternative universe where we lose this game despite Wales not doing much of anything.
No offence to Wales though - they showed up given their injuries and limitations, but the game should not have been anywhere as close as it was.

I think Jarvo is a dumb fuck and his “hilarious” pitch invasion got tired really quickly but this guy is another level completely. I would be fucken spewing if I was a Welsh player, Liam Williams in particular.

I’ve never had time for streakers in any shape or form. Absolute self centred fuckwits who potentially ruin things for everyone……
Well, ok maybe some streakers are ok…..
