The only way wales will beat a southern hemisphere team is either if it is mixed up with a few Englishman or the southern hemisphere teams pretend to be England

Perhaps if Wales played in white...

The payers and ref weren't helped by a pretty average playing surface.

Yeah, have to agree the pitch was pretty ropey.

Point of order - Wales are only a principality.

And we have very few mines now

Oh come on he sin binned Gethin Jenkins and the SA replacement prop who had only just come onto the field.

Nothing and IMO the ref played it correctly.

Oh yes I'd forgotten the minor nations were playing too

If forwards want to act like petulant kids to disrupt the game, they need to get naughty stepped.

You tell 'em Pondy!

I didn't see anything of the Wales game, but tell me, what wonders did the ref contrive to make that happen? Extremely slow set procedure? Incessant yapping at the players? Complaints about prop's left foot being in front of the wrong blade of grass?

Jonathan Davies and Adam Jones going off was a big loss and if it hadn't been for 1/2p's boot, the scoreline would have been a lot worse.

I wasn't really focused on the 2nd half as I was cooking chilli in the kitchen whilst trying to keep an eye on the TV.

Hahaha

The referee wasn't up to much though he was consistent, consistently bad that is. There were only a handful of scrums that stayed up.

You didn't miss much to be honest, the Boks took their chances well and were clinical whereas Wales weren't able to string much together in the way of finishing.

Only saw the highlights thanks to the RFU selling everything to some commercial TV operation.

Yep - 2nd half was very dull.
