Preview – Wales vs South Africa
Wales close out a turbulent year against the mighty Bokke, with the crushing heartbreak of defeat against the All Blacks still weighing heavy on the mind.
Wales close out a turbulent year against the mighty Bokke, with the crushing heartbreak of defeat against the All Blacks still weighing heavy on the mind.
Nine matches and even more hours later it’s time finally unveil this past week’s honour roll.
The All Blacks sure know how to spoil a party. When Beauden Barrett went over on the 69th minute the Millenium Stadium went from theme park to mortuary.
It wasn’t easy, with more strong team performances than individual ones, but a team has been scraped together with 12 different countries represented!
Warren Gatland has swapped a few players for this Tier 2 tilt, but there’s no sign of complacency with a very experienced lineup set to take on Fiji.
As if you couldn’t get enough rugby already, here are eight pieces to fill up all the extra time you thought you had between now and the weekend’s action.
After a grueling few days of playing catch-up, it’s finally time to hammer down this week’s offering, with selections coming from eight different nations.
Another agonizingly close encounter between the two combatants, and for the 10th consecutive time it was Australia who just did enough to get the win.
All of a sudden the Wallabies don’t look so forlorn anymore. Michael Cheika’s feel-good effect on the team has been palpable, which is bad news for Wales.
There’s no two ways about it, Wales were pulverised in Durban on Saturday, and there’s little reason to think it will be any different in Nelspruit.
