    Wales 0-21 South Africa

    Oh that was close.

    Rio Dyer does so well to gather a lose ball before stepping past two tackles.

    Dan Edwards is quick-thinking enough to spot the overlap on the far side and kicks across field.

    Ellis Mee tries to keep the ball in play on the volley but goes into touch - with clear grass in front of him. He would have been clear then.

    Wales 0-21 South Africa

    South Africa back on the attack and just marching their way up field.

    It really has been one-way traffic this half.

    Joe Hawkins and Rio Dyer combine to stop Damian Willemse in his tracks on the right and Wales win a penalty.

    Have you seen Wilco Louw's legs?

    They're humongous, they take up half the scrum's weight.

    This isn't an over exaggeration, they're bigger than my wife.

    Wales 0-21 South Africa

    Wales win another free kick at the scrum on the halfway line for a technical infringement and Dan Edwards pumps it up field.

    First real chance for Wales to set up camp - but Dewi Lake overthrows the lineout ten yards out from the try line and huge groans all around the Principality Stadium. So disappointing.

    Lake is a wonderful leader and effective ball-carrier but the lineout has been Wales' Achilles heel this month.

    Wiese try, Feinberg-Mngomezulu con

    Huge push from the South Africa scrum and it looks like the number eight Jasper Wiese touched down between the posts.

    Yes he did. For a moment it looked as though he may have lost control but it's given.

    Wales - like so many others - struggling to match this Springbok scrum.

    Wales 0-14 South Africa

    To be fair Ian, I think most teams are pretty much dwarfed by these South Africans!

    However Wales do have a very young team today.

    Wales back line looks like boys against the men of South Africa.

    Wales 0-14 South Africa

    Siya Kolisi goes within inches of the try line before Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu's pass out wide to Ethan Hooker is ruled forward.

    Wales escape for now but there's a penalty for Joe Hawkins offside and South Africa will undoubtedly pick the scrum.

    Wales 0-14 South Africa

    Aaron Wainwright barely packs down before breaking from the back of the scrum.

    Wales know that ball has to be in and out in a split-second if they are to negate that Springbok scrum power.

    Wales 0-14 South Africa

    Wales defend the driving lineout superbly to snuff out the attack.

    However the result of that is a scrum five metres from their own line.

    Against this South African pack, I'm not sure that's a reward.

    Wales 0-14 South Africa

    Feinberg-Mngomezulu gives another display of his skills, catching a pass one-handed before flinging a reverse pass out wide. He's buzzing today.

    Action is brought back for another scrum penalty and the fly-half sends the Boks to within sniffing distance of the Wales try line. Ominous.

    Wales 0-14 South Africa

    Dan Edwards probes with a speculative chip over the top but Damian Willemse is well positioned to clean up and is then taken high by opposite number Blair Murray.

    It's a penalty for South Africa to clear - but nothing more.

    Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu just gives another display of his wonderful skills, gliding between Aaron Wainwright and Gareth Thomas to send South Africa scorching through.

    Siya Kolisi is dragged down by Blair Murray but this Springboks fly-half is just a joy to watch.

    The same set up as against the Irish last week, Mngomezulu opening up the line and making Rio Dyer step in to expose a defensive error there.

    Wales need to be more careful.

    It was a little bit too easy for South Africa, Wales left such a massive gap and that was slack defending from Wales.

    Hooker try, Feinbuerg-Mngomezulu con

    Ethan Hooker beats three men out wide and makes Blair Murray pay for that kick.

    From the scrum, South Africa go right where full-back Damien Willemse's delightful reverse pass releases the wing.

    Hooker still had a lot to do but shrugs off some slack tackling.

    Wales 0-7 South Africa

    Blair Murray goes for broke but fires a left-footed kick from inside his own half that bounces out of play beyond the try line.

    So close to a 50-22 but now South Africa have a scrum mid-way in Wales territory.

    That is what I was worried about, Wales losing the scrum and the South African forwards went around the corner and they’re ahead.

    Pure South African physicality.

    Steenekamp try, Feinberg-Mngomezulu con

    I spoke too soon and prop Gerhard Steenekamp is over for a try on his first start.

    He spotted a gap between the two Welsh props on the fringe of the ruck and barged straight through them.

    They gave him far too much space to stop him from there.
