Wales 14 / 11 Springboks
Dan Biggar on for Gareth Anscombe
Mark taken calmly by Willie le Roux.
Time to replace Kolisi… noooo Duane Vermeulen is replaced by Francois Louw.
Wales 5m penalty…
Biggar for posts.
Wales 17 / 11 Springboks
Box kick too deep by Ivan van Zyl, mark taken
Wales very kickable penalty, Ivan van Zyl clearly offside.
Wales 20 / 11 Springboks
8 Minutes to go… the deficit is 9
Wales will win this one…
Wales penalty, man over the ball…
Time is running out!
4 Minutes to go.
Maybe 2 from 4 for EOY tour is not so great, but Rassie restored some pride. If only he did not agree for AA captain!
Bokke scrum… 2 minutes to go.
Bokke scrum penalty… quick tap
Wales penalty… time is up on the clock… tapped and popped out.
Where do you think are the weaknesses in team, GBS?

Scrumhalf, inside centre (De Allende), too much of the umbrella defence… opening too much space out wide.
Too many box kicks.
Not varying play when the other teams are close to offside the whole time… need to sometimes grubber the ball in behind them to turn them around…
My take:
Kolisi
Ellende
Scrumhalf not settled, I hope Faf ups his kicking game in off season.
Defense of both wings.
Kolisi just disappear in general play. Faf really messed up v France with kicking game. Ellende is just that. How many tries were scored against the boks out wide and high ball this season?
Well, not a successful tour if you ask me… 50%… and the 2 wins were barely wins.
There’s progress though, but there is plenty of work to do and only 4 or 5 Tests remain before the next World Cup.
Players not impressing me…
Embrose Papier
Ivan van Zyl
Damian de Allende
Dyantyi (under high balls and on defence)
OK, I will be doing 1 more game tonight… France vs Fiji
Ireland 24 / 14 USA
(Just after halftime)
Ireland’s dirt-trackers are scrumming USA senseless…
Ireland 31 / 14 USA (53 min)
