Wales should work on their discipline, they were blatantly cynical, and it can only get worse. Wales did nothing special today, they only looked better than us because they had structure.
 
We did even give the backline chance to play. Suddenly when Willie comes on and the backline starts running and playing then the game open up.

We should have played like this from the start and we would have dominated them instead we scraped by only just.
 
Made it only just.

Dan Biggar cost Wales the game thankfully.
4 yellow cards cost Wales the game. Don't think that Georgian ref will get another international game soon.

The bad thing for us beating Wales is that it will cover up our weaknesses in the game and Jantjies will probably be retained to the bench next match and get into the world cup squad

I think the cards handed out was accurate.

They were for infringements that stopped the boks momentum which will always be a card.

If you look at the other international games also when a team pick and go close to the try line the ref always has his hand out for offside, hands in ruck, high tackle etc.
 
Read social media. Wales supporters are saying he had a Springbok jersey on.

You could argue the Wales yellow cards should have been penalties.
Actually there is no way you can argue that. Cynical at crucial moments.

Seems that was actually the Whales game plan.

Good that that they got punished for it.

Respect for the ref. The true MoM.

The ref was actually good. He has got a good career ahead of him. Not taking **** from glamour boys like Biggar.
 
Yellows cost Wales dearly, but that comes from pressure and penalties that were building in the first half already.
Please tell me this far to long, Jantjies experiment, is now over for good. 1 good game out of plenty at test level does not a Springbok make, and he has had way more chances than most.

Back down to earth for the Boks, time to reset.
Wales did phenomenally well thwarting the mauls in the 1st half, and it seemed to leave the Boks with little options.
Anyway, a wins a win ou pal, we will take it and hopefully lift our game.
Well done to Wales, and Biggars interview after the match watch top drawer. They played their heart out.
