Steve fking Walsh.

Given the end result Wales should have just let them in it would have cost them less points. Now the remaining 13 are going to be fked trying to keep in the game.......

Steve Walsh does all he can to ensure he is centre of attention every match. He is a prick.

So did Charteris not go in the side? Did Biggar not bring down the maul?

...and what's more, we've just seen a scrum won against the head by the oppo hooker hooking the ball, which was fed straight down the middle of the tunnel. Don't see that very often these days!

Its pretty unusual for it to be a penalty try & a yellow card.
You see it all the time where a try is cynically prevented in one phase (a definite yellow) and if a try gets scored 2-3 phases later nothing gets done about the original penalty.

Either way its a good game. Just wish their were fewer stopages.

Sure but it was as blatant as hell...

Boks down to 14 men. Come on Wales, this is a golden opportunity for a first ever win on South African soil...

Since when does a Bok pack get destroyed like that???

Amazing spirit from the Welsh to get back on top after the Bok tries. I just hope they don't play like this against England in the RWC pool match! hehe

Bloody hell looks like they could do it.....

No hopers to world beaters in a week?!;)

South Africa making it all look very laboured today, Wales have won the collisions and matched the Boks physically when they've needed to but otherwise played in the right areas.

st. Easily converted kick also with it being a penalty try.

Unbelievable, he just needed to make it look like he was trying to use his arms.

It's Liam Williams. Thinking's not a strong point!

If I were Welsh I'd be in tears after that but as it is I'm just gutted that with the effort put in they didn't come away with the win they deserved.

Biggar went for the DG too early on both occasions.

When playing the AB's and to a lesser extent the Boks regardless of how far ahead you are in the game and on the score board you just feel they'll find the win from somewhere.

It must be a Welsh talent, how often is it possible to lose so many matches in the last few minute?

No consolation to Wales but I don't think the Boks are as far along as I and most thought in that #2 spot. I know it's just one game but Wales made them look very ordinary for most of that game. They're missing a couple of players, Pieterson certainly isn't a centre, weren't allowed to play to their strengths today credit to Wales.

I wouldn't be top harsh on Williams, North could/should have had his man.
