Oh well, at least we finally score a try. Wales defended well for 15 mins. 9 out of 10 times there would have been a turnover by then.

Boks need to get creative.
Thanks to Damian Willemse take out of the air. Sards checked

Wales' conversion rate this tour has been phenomenal.

Every time they get a sniff of an opportunity, they finish it off and get some points.

Well worked try.

Looks like the welsh team are all running through treacle, but when they go wide, they find yards.

State of the pitch is dire.

Good try and from playing some actual rugby.

You implied it's a norm. It's not. He's indicative of Wales' travails. Too many ex great players on the way down or already busted flushes: North, AWJ & L Williams.

SA you have a great set of forwards. But, will the game just evolve to 8 bruisers marching up the middle.

Is Wales 3 tired? He seems to be determined to get carded and have a 10 minute sit down.

It's a football pitch on sandy soil. We mention this every time there is a match there and everybody bitches about it.

Was never designed for rugby to be played on it. Doubt the City of Cape Town is going to invest in having it resurfaced until they get Western Province / The Stormers to commit to a long term lease.

Wales are winning the aerial game at the moment, combine that with their ability to scrap at the breakdown and they're containing the Boks well at the moment.

Boks really need more to their game.

Same as last week really.
The Bok bench are much better are much better scrappers on the ground. The starters are there to tenderise the opposition first.
Wales doing well as always to contain weather it.

Yep. But Wales also super cynical in the red zone. Very annoying to play against that.

Boks unable to convert the penalties to points, as their maul is toothless against Wales.

Have to say Wales are surprising me here, playing well.

Unsure why the Welsh 9 only seems to be making every other ruck though

He was lying on the floor whilst the afters were going on. Think he's injured.

I mean since the start of the game, there have been loads of instances of forwards picking up and passing from the back of a ruck

Finally!

Just before halftime too. Need to get back into the red zone to milk a yellow card.

Wonder if that "team warning" is still in effect?
