    And let it be said too, considering how much flak the Bok coaches take for substitutions, that this was a day when they at least got a couple right.

    The one they got right was definitely Willem Alberts, who came on after halftime and produced a barn-storming 40 minutes that played a massive role in swinging the momentum in the South African favour.

    Along with the good substitutions there were again some dubious ones too, and the Boks weren’t helped by the two lineout balls they lost soon after Chiliboy Ralepelle had replaced man-mountain Bismarck du Plessis in the final minutes.

    But Ralepelle was one of the players who put in some big tackles in those minutes and Du Plessis has played a lot of rugby recently.

    Have to say that was the best Wales v Bok match I have seen. The last few minutes of play were hectic!!
    Atmosphere warmed up a bit towards the end.

    Puma, I have now seen your ‘Little Lambie’ play…..Think he will be used a bit more this tour.

    Percy looking RAVISHING as usual!! He carries the water bottles with such panache!!
