Boo to Bristol for not releasing LRZ for this one and then naming him in today's match against Northampton on the bench.

Grey old day here
Roof will be on thankfully
I'll be happy with a 62-38 kind of loss with Wales improving at scrum time, the line out and discipline.
Would be great to see some long range tries too.
Pity Nicky Smith not available. Top five LH in world.
South Africa leading after half an hour, 14-0. Tries to Steenekamp and Hooker. Springboks forwards are utterly dominant. Wales looking like a side who have been thrown together because that is what they are.
@pooler-fan South Africa will win by at least 50 points and might get close to 100 points.
Raisse Erasmus is an absolutely ruthless fluffybunny. No sympathy from him for the woes of Wales Rugby. He's a killer. He's enjoying watching Wales bleed to death this afternoon. A brutal, beautiful mismatch.
The only thing keeping this close is brave Wales defence. Making 92% of their tackles at the moment. But I can't see it staying there for long.
The difference in the ruck speed is remarkable. South Africa playing the game faster and with so much more power.
4th South African try. Van der Berg.
Wales 0 South Africa 28
Half time.
Wales relieved to be heading to the changing room.
There's going to be some battered bodies in the Welsh changing room.
Just shows there's no substitute for power in rugby, you lose the physical battle and it's game over.
Wales battling hard but the 2 Bok centres are bigger than most of the Welsh forwards. We'll only get weaker when the bench empties in the 2nd half too.
Another one. Mngomezulu. 0-42
If this was a boxing match. The referee would have stopped it.
If this was a kid's game, the coaches would be talking about how long more this should go on.
Getting very ugly with 33 minutes to go.

Try number 5. Louw.
And Wales lose Taine Plumtree to the sin bin as well.
0-35.
I'm not watching the game, but that guy picks up more penalties than 2 Barrett's
I'm pretty sure SA could've cobbled together a 23 man squad from their non URC Currie cup sides and still won against this Welsh side
Went to the toilet. The Springboks must have scored again.
Wales 0 South Africa 61.
16 minutes left.
