Wales team v SA

[Sandydragon]

26 missed tackles

[Sandydragon]

Nope, sad to see.

It happens. Every prop gets a tuning at some point early in their career

To be fair to him, he's probably played more for Wales than bath. Given that, he's done pretty well overall.

I think he’s going to have a long international career. Today just didn’t work for him

[normanski]

Well at least we’re on the board at halftime. It’s going to be a torrid last twenty.

So something to cheer at the end of the half.

So many ways that we are struggling here. But speed of thought is a key one. We get that turn over via Hathaway and no one thinks to get the ball away quickly to take advantage.

Inexperience must be playing a part there. We have Dyer as the most capped back and they've got world cup winners. The Boks aren't just fast and powerful they have the nous to use it to advantage.

Hanekom on now. Bet he's glad he didnt chose to play for the land of his granny.

[Wallpaperman]

Wow, some quality attack, and in fairness defence there

[Sandydragon]

Bomb squad warming up

[Wallpaperman]

Hanekom on now. Bet he's glad he didnt chose to play for the land of his granny.

He’d be guaranteed a place though

[Sandydragon]

The ref now has a very firm picture of the scrum.

[Wallpaperman]

Feisty 10 minutes from Wales here

[Wallpaperman]

Annoying but I think Wales got barged at the lineout

[Sandydragon]

Annoying but I think Wales got barged at the lineout

Think so.

Try five

[Wallpaperman]

Wales played quite well for 15 minutes there, but they have another gear. Watkin on for damage limitation

[Sandydragon]

I’m liking how Eddie James manages to get over the gain line

It’s a more physically robust centre oartnership

[Wallpaperman]

Agent Elias comes on

[Sandydragon]

There goes the lineout

Looks a good player, should be starting

[Wallpaperman]

There goes the lineout

In all fairness we might not get any more throws into the lineout. Tactics from Gatland

[Sandydragon]

Pretty sure there was a South African knock on at the beginning of that sequence

Yep. Defend like crazy for the next 18 mins and keep it respectable

[Wallpaperman]

Why wasn’t that a knock on from Hanekom ? Makes no difference, I know

[Sandydragon]

No shortage of passion or effort from wales

[Wallpaperman]

2 from 2 (after a fashion) from Elias. They are actually running it from behind their own line, not taking Wales seriously anymore. Am actually glad that Watkin is on to put it about a bit.

[Wallpaperman]

Hathaway is no Rogers in the air. Props on a yellow card warning, here comes a scrum…
