Springboks vs Wales 2026 Live Chat

Game starts off with some pretty average kicking both ways.

Jasper just has too much power and he's over. Moyo converts. 7-0.

Nice break by Fassi, good carry Cobus, Wiese onto the short ball bashes through from 15m out.

Wiese powers through and we are off, morning Pakie..

Easy pickings for Marx at the breakdown.

Cobus loping away, just short. Wales looking all at sea here.

Kobus might break 10.5 for the 100….fastest lock in the game?

And now the Bok scrum just walks over them. This could be a massacre.

Reinach just runs through by himself. Ouch.

Sadie lifting the whole Welsh scrum, just another talent who missed out for a long time

This game is way more fun than the AB/Ireland dirge.Vusi does a better escape than the magician in the water tank

Van Heerden rivaling Kolisi as the best Bluto stand -in.

Sorry, I'm watching but a bit too busy with food to comment, will catch up with you guys in the second half.

The fast hands of Dud Allende…Kriel knocks on.

Average play from Reinach throwing the hospital to DDA.

Dud Toit shrewdly drops the ball to set up another scrum….but Wales get it out fast and onto Fassi who bungles

Some dropped balls now. Durban grease strikes again?

Good hands by Kriel to score. Dud Allende featured in the build up with another tap on pass….obviously the new skill for the season replacing the kick through

Kriel over after a long while of messy play. Decent cross from Moyo.

Wasn't expecting much from this game but it's still a bit of a damp squib. Hope England and the Argies bring some fireworks. Bok backplay is so average taking into account the level of opposition.

The Wiese brothers are powerful, very strong on their feet. A bit like Val Bartman

2nd half about to get underway. I think Wales have done well to limit the damage. Earlier on it looked like it might turn into a rout. It still might.

Good debut for Vusi Moyo. I think he's been great.

Come on Bokke!

Jaco Williams is in already.

Moyo converts and it's 26-0.

Nice positioning from Reinach to catch the slapback from Wales, feeds Cobus who feeds Williams to score.

Wales on the attack and now get a penalty but the Bok defence is good. Tomos Williams almost over but held up, ref goes back for penalty advantage. Wales rumble it up and there's yet another penalty advantage. Could be a card coming . . . no, Wales tap and try to crash over but now the Boks get a penalty. Big opportunity missed for Wales.

Nice turnover P Div. Dire rugby out there otherwise.

Reinach fumbles and then gives away a penalty for playing the ball off his feet.

Wales back on attack. Reinach is subbed for Herschel Jantjies. Manie Libbok also on, I guess for Moyo?

Manie with an average cross kick which Jaco Williams does well to keep in but then Jesse knocks on.

Ref gives Wales a warning.

This is the kind of game from which you learn absolutely nothing. There's no structure to the Boks and even less to Wales. A proper getjommel as we said in the old days.

Springboks all having a go themselves when a simple pass would open things up . . . back for a penalty advantage and surely the card will come now . . . no, it must be close though.

Now the maul gets going and the Welsh defence splinters but somehow it's held up. Wales with a goal line drop out.

Jaco Williams bursts down the right, throws a good pass to Jantjies and he's in.

Willemse with the first bit of smart backplay of the entire game and Jantjies in.

There's a review but it's not for the try, it's possible foul play by Wales.

No, come on, that's just rugby.

It's a card. Bit harsh I reckon. Wales down to 14. I thought the floodgates might open here but now it seems inevitable.

Another pointless waste of time that review was.

Jesse Kriel fly-hacks it through and then makes the tackle. Good play. Wales on the ropes here.

Kurt-Lee makes what feels like his first contribution in the game with a good run but it comes to nothing. Back for a penalty advantage.

Smart play by Jantjies with the offload wide but Kriel wasn't wise to it.

Arendse in. Wales just nowhere, Boks scraping along in second gear with a stuttering engine and still comfortably beating them. I'm off, will check in for the England game.
