Wales need to thank the Boks for this. They gave them the truth

sparky

Can the Springboks crack 80 to make it a point a minute?

sparky

Wales' second worst ever defeat. Only the 83 point defeat at Pretoria was worse.

Can the Springboks score two in the last five minutes to break that total?

Sad day for Rugby?

Impressive day for Rugby?

sparky

Three minutes to go before Wales can trudge back to their dressing room.

A reality check.

Wales are way, way off. Only terrible All Blacks defence allowed them to paper over the massive cracks last week.

The Springboks are one of the very best teams of all time.

@Jet Great day for rugby, even if you’re Welsh. This is the kind of result that forces change

sparky

Red card coming. Etzebeth eye-gouged Alex Mann . Disgusting.

sparky

Etzebeth should get a lengthy ban for that. Totally needless thuggery.

Mr Fish

Third South African lock given a straight red on their European tour. One of those was scrubbed from the record but still.

73-0 up in last game of season in 80th minute.

Eye gouge someone.

Sigma male grindset.

Big Dick energy.

Wales 0 South Africa 73.

Brutal stuff.

We could do with a couple.

The Springboks are one of the very best teams of all time.

Wales are missing a few of their 1st XV. The have no depth. This week’s team would struggle to beat Tonga! They are a step down from last week, which made them cannon fodder for the Boks.

WRU should hang their heads in shame for arranging this fixture outside the official window. Heads need to roll.

sparky

@Mr-Fish Nah, I want hard men with a bit of biff who intimidate the opposition. But going after the opponent's eyes, ears or their privates are a no no.

@stodders The bigger problem is not that they did, it’s that they could.

It just seems like a massively pointless exercise.

An eye gouge like that needs to be answered next time you see him. He needs to pay a physical price. And I don’t care if you get flattened in return, you’ve got to draw a line in the sand and show what you’re willing to accept. Next URC game you all kick off. Get the game abandoned I don’t care.

sparky

Canan Moodie with some impressive stats. 4 line breaks (top for match), carried for 59 metres (top for match)

Shouldn't get the opportunity.

That sort of shit from Etzebeth needs to be stamped on hard. Should be a year's ban at least.

Horrific from Eben Etzebeth. Is this really the image World Rugby wants for its game?

Himself and Reinach and co have been grabbing collars all year.

They love a dust up.

Just indicative of how out of touch the WRU are, they knew full well what could happen but they didn't care. They could've arranged a game during the first week of November (when England played Australia and Ireland played NZ) against a lower ranked side but would rather make an extra few ££ by playing SA but throwing your players under the bus.
All four Welsh pro clubs are also playing this weekend, so the union has fucked them over too (again)

Hard to know when people are taking the piss or being serious at times but

Eben is a c*nt and deserves a lengthy ban

Anyone who votes Eben in the Fern TOTY is a c*nt

No ambiguity there

Bizarre behaviour coming onto the field with his team comfortably in control, being a 140 cap veteran and doing that ?

I might visit the Eben Facebook page and see how the rabid SA fans view the situation.

A long ban could end his career.

Probably an accident

Not worth the wind up. Be that objective Bok fan that condemns thuggery 😉

The Saffa's I follow on Twitter are really pissed off with Etzebeth. Think he's acted like a complete thug and damaged the team's reputation.

Here's hoping. Given the quantity of cards they have been getting lately for dangerous play, I think there's a chance they make an example of him.
