ESPN's Tristan Barclay had this to say:
"Talk among the press corps at half-time ran along the lines of 'surely they can't keep this up?' The answer in the second half was an emphatic yes. Where Wales were dominant in the opening 40, South Africa spent the second period banging on the Welsh door, with the likes of Alun Wyn Jones and Dan Lydiate holding back the green tide. With just five minutes to go, it looked as though Wales were going to be able to cling on for victory, but then up stepped Fourie du Preez to fly over in the left corner. It was heartbreak for the Welsh, but they can hold their heads up high after running the two-time champions so close. "
