Wales an absolute shambles defensively. They look tired.

MaddChris

Right call on the penalty and card, not sure its a penalty try. He over-ran the ball.

Clegg

Referees were put in a bad position for the South Africa penalty try. I think it's more than likely that Moodie knocked it on, before Dyer slapped it out to touch. But there was no definitive angle to prove it.

mr_edge_to_you

South Africa looking sharp too.

Shehal

I mean I agree about Dyer getting a yellow and Wales being penalised but I totally disagree about the penalty try, Moodie misses the ball and no-one is there to potentially catch the ball afterwards.

Clegg

No Welsh moaning for the third try just now though.

Completely disorganised for their kick chase, lost the ball, gave away a 6 on 2 overlap, still managed to rather the ball, bug offloaded straight to a South African player over their own try line. Shambles.

Brace was having a good game until that rediculus penalty try

MaddChris

Ohhh..... thats a shocker form Grady

irelandrover

That's just so bad. That's as close to an own try as you'll see.

Welsh broadcasters fault for not shelling out for a sideline camera 😉

SA being made to look good here, Wales are all over the place.

MaddChris

Handre Pollard sitting and home shaking his head

fitz

SA halves have both been poor.

MaddChris

Kleyn with the lineout steal

Clegg

Wales have been shocking. Are there many from this squad that will travel to the World Cup.

You'd fancy Fiji to beat Wales in the pool opener at this rate

Ben Bailey

Taine Basham on. No return to play protocol ?

He presumably passed his HIA2 and HIA3 test.

Ben Bailey

This could get (really) embarrassing

MaddChris

Three intercept trys and a penalty try

Must be some sort of record 😑

It was embarrassing already. The wheels are totally off the wagon here for Wales. Just handing SA points.

fitz

Kolbe with an Arende pull down special.

Shehal

Fiji are currently 8 point underdogs for the opening game against Wales. Throw the kitchen sink at it while you still can!

Wouldn't re-morgage the house just yet. This is far from a starting Welsh XV

Will still be close though I think.

Ben Bailey

This could get (really really really) embarrassing

Clegg

Shipping 50 in your final home game before the World Cup.

I wouldn't completely discount an resurgence for the tournament itself as it has happened before. But Welsh rugby seems to be coming apart at every level.

Ben Bailey

Bracey carding Willemse

Clegg

That's a red card for Willemse surely?

If he's cited for that World Rugby is in a very tough position, in light of the Farrell situation.

Interesting test for the "Farrell defence" possibly coming up...
