However, the green-and-gold ensemble fought harder in the second half and claimed a deserved win.
The South Africans were playing in front of their home support for the first time in almost three years due to COVID-19 and the match also served as a preparation for next year’s world cup.
🥳 What a game! The Boks snatch the victory at the death courtesy of a pressure penalty goal by Damian Willemse. It ends 32-29 to South Africa after 80 minutes of very tough Test rugby. Thanks for anothe epic, @WelshRugbyUnion!#StrongerTogether #StrongerForever #SAvWAL pic.twitter.com/U1aDlLNyT6
