Wales vs Boks- the official match thread

 Beautiful try.

Morne is off the field. Strange.

 Jean Devilliers is continuing his good form.The Bok pack is also out muscling the Welsh

 Why is Morne off, Lambie has gone to 10 and Willie at 15. I expected this but in the last 30 minutes

Welsh are dropping like flies.

 That is 2 penalties given against Boks for holding on. I disagree with both calls. Halfpenny was playing the ball offside and on the ground on the first.
Vermuelen was placing the ball behind and Welsh had hands in the ruck

 yellow card for a push when a player is holiding on is a joke. This is not Ballerina dancing

 Some good passing from both sides.

 Although he just gave the boks a penalty for the same offence by Welsh. At least consistently wrong

This game is so much better than the England v Argentina game. The Poms are a long way behind SA and Wales .

 agreed.  England just got lots of points in the world rankings last year by beating the All blacks. Wales are easily a better team and should be ranked 3rd in the world

 boks falling apart here. Just defending and waiting for Wales to score. Need to get some front foot ball and smash the advantage line.
Referee has now told both props they are both going off?

A 2 point difference!

 Great Welsh defense.

 Great try SA. Against the run of play but brilliant!

 Great stuff Fourie's. Jaque Dupreez

 Good to see the driving mauls are back in the boks game after the championship

 Steph DU TOIT is making his deput in the 68th minute!!!!!!

 Why take Eztebeth off? Rather take of flippen penalty

 The Welsh have not liked the Springbok tackles and have knocked on at key times ha ha

Congtats Boks. Good game. Wales played well as usual but always come up short. Wales probably won the stats Beeno  does that mean they won?

 Yes boks converted their oppertunities. It was a bit of a mud bath, so much for them using the roof to cover the pitch. It does raise the question of why have a roof, a bit like walking in the rain carrying a closed umbrella

 Satisfactory start to the tour but by kicking away so much possession Wales won the possession sats JW. Field was a mess and ref confused. Wonder what the penalty count was. We were blown up repeatedly when near their line. Ref made a number of mistakes. Didnt like the way we kicked so much possesion away. JJ gives us the option to attack.Nice debut though by Frans Malherbe. Next year Kitshoff joins the fray!Ou maaaike has been left a bit red faced by Du Preez being man of the match!!

Finally some good back play.
