Overview
- South Africa ran in 11 tries in a 73-0 rout, Wales’ heaviest home defeat and their first scoreless home Test of the professional era.
- Fly-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu scored 28 points with two tries and nine conversions, as Andre Esterhuizen and the dominant scrum set the platform.
- The fixture fell outside World Rugby’s release window, leaving Wales without a host of England- and France-based players as both teams fielded much-changed squads.
- The Springboks completed an unbeaten autumn tour and will finish the year ranked No. 1 after a second successive end-of-year clean sweep.
- Head coaches split their post-match focus between performance and discipline, with Rassie Erasmus calling it a controlled display and accepting the red card decision, while Steve Tandy highlighted painful lessons for his depleted side.
