6 all after 20 mins.
Wales struggling in the set pieces. Minced in the scrum, scrappy lineouts and not looking flash under the high ball; but playing at pace and trying to find some holes with clever passes.
Boks grinding Wales down. Brutal in contact and making the ruck area very competitive. 3 turnovers so far, but also 3 penalties conceded giving Wales points and momentum.

The Boks almost never get to play with a closed roof. For some reason the Welsh think that a wet ball will disadvantage the Boks' forward based, kick-based gameplan.

Don't quote me but I thought visitors had the choice?
{EDIT} Apparently in all comps, both sides must agree but for others (i.e. including these AIs), it's Wales' choice.

It’s fine. Wales think they can keep it close in the wet. Cunts.

To be fair it was a really weak position by Mbonambi, not surprised ref wouldn't call him as a competing player at the breakdown.

It boggles the mind. Such a Hail Mary. I get really annoyed at how limited the Boks are when it comes to exploiting an advantage call.

It was a shit kick anyway; even for a freebie with the advantage.
A prop could have gotten to it from the opposite wing; with such a high, slow trajectory

Boks just too greedy and impatient at the breakdown. It's really costing them.
They would be better served by stop trying to jackal a turnover and just counter-rucking the shit out of this Welsh pack.

Even if all those were only penalties, that was at least 3 advantages in a single passage.

Ox's block is a legit penalty though. No complaints there. Might be a yellow because of the team warning.
