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

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.

He’d be guaranteed a place though

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

Annoying but I think Wales got barged at the lineout

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

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

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

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

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.

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