No mention of Wales beating the World champions in their own back yard

Some achievement 👍

Wrong board ****o

Fantastic result, was going to mention it but couldn’t be arsed with the saddos that have hatred for a different shaped ball.

Fantastic result and richly deserved especially after last weeks game where a wrong decision in the last minutes cost them dearly. Surprised the Welshness dissappears on here when rugby is mentioned. :wales:

Awful game.

Turned it off after 55 mins.

The stones from Anscombe to knock that conversion over, fair play

Same here, Wales played far better against a stronger team last week and didn’t get what they deserved. Based on the two thirds of todays game that I watched, the powers that be took pity on them and deemed they had to win this time. Got to be pleased for Anscombe though after what he’s been through in recent years.

Fantastic result. Doesn't matter how they played, it's the result that counts.

I did like Gareth Edwards(I think) comment last week when he said something like 'it's great to see the best 2 front rows in world rugby on the pitch - it's just a shame they're both South African' 😄

Have to disagree here, Bob. The officials got a decision horrendously wrong to sin-bin Alun Wyn Jones for hands on the floor when it came off the boot of the Bok player. Almost lead to the game going away from Wales.

Awful spectacle of a game. Excellent result.

His comments in the week were way off the mark though. Saying they disrespected the test by making so many changes, was indicative of all the players from the 60/70s who are out of touch with the modern game.

Granted he'll know more about rugby that I ever will.

Didnt watch the whole game but the bits I did watch were dire.
Only checked the score after the game had finished and fully expected another loss.

I quite enjoyed last week's game and thought Wales were done over by some poor refereeing.

All to play for next game and Wales need not fear the world champions.
They aren't a team that gets you off your seat.

One hell of a kick from Anscombe at the death and as has been mentioned, it's all about the result 👏

Looks like Scotland will make it a clean sweep for the Northern Hemisphere.

It was think Wales got stuck behind Ireland win and Eng wins so mot shocked Wales achievement us significant as they are building and SA are alledgly number 1 and they nearly won in the 1st test .

It's good to see Northern Hemisphere doing well..

Wouldn’t let that stop you. It’s not our fault some on here were forced by their nasty PE teachers to play Rugby all those yrs ago.

C’mon Bob. That’s a load of bollux. You don’t get “evening things out” when it comes to Rugby in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Welsh defence was awesome today.

I saw a comment earlier that this was the first time ever that New Zealand, Australia and South Africa had all lost at home on the same day. Then add in Argentina for the complete pub quiz stat.

Awful game until the last 15-20 minutes. Great win. And only one bad (could have been game changing) refereeing decision this time - unlike the two dreadful calls in the first game.

Only the third time they've all lost on the same day. 1st time when they've all been home.

Well, from whst I saw of the two matches we should have won last week and lost yesterday on the balance of play - they were two very close games where the “wrong” team won, so the series is 1-1 and Wales are certainly exceeding my expectations because I thought we were in for three hammerings.

I also agree agree with Harry Paget Flashman regarding Gareth Edwards’ comments on South Africa’s team selection - Wales would have greater cause to moan about South Africashowing disrespect for them if they had not done the exact same thing year in, year out to Italy in the SixNations.

Was last week a far stronger Boks team? Their supporters were piling into me saying this was a team cram full of inform players.
We beat them and 1-1 is the very least we deserve. Well done Wales. This tour is proving to be far more successful than I had hoped for.

Like others have said a dour game to watch except the last few minutes. Excellent kick to win it.

Far too many stoppages, the first half took nearly an hour to play.

Do you think I meant the game was fixed in some way? I’m sure it wasn’t, what I meant in a joking way was that an authority far higher than us mere mortals decreed that we had to win.

Congratulations Wales ���������������������������� From a extremely proud Welshman who supports Wales ��������������As a team sport and any man woman who compete for ��������������

Why have the Welsh flags I posted come out as a load of question marks :shrug::hehe::wales:

That old chestnut Eric. You could apply that to many sports. Formula 1 is usually contested by only 2 drivers, The SPL, Bundesliga, and many other European leagues are only contested by a few teams, the Cricket world cup has only ever had 6 different winners, the football world cup has only ever had 8 different winners, Tennis grand slams, both men and women, are usually contested by the top 4 players etc etc.
For those posters on here who don’t like Rugby union, do the simple thing, and just avoid the thread. There aren’t many threads on here about it at any given time, and the clue is usually in the title.

Not just rugby teachers our football coaches in school used to pick sides by tapping you hard in the stomach as they went along the line and then used to put the best side against the rest - no good for those in the school side and certainly no fun for those who didn't enjoy football - lot of scumbags as teachers in my school including those who were overtly racist to some of the students - one or two at max I would say hallo to if I saw them today

The reason I've stopped watching rugby altogether. Far too many petty rules which completely disrupt the flow of play.

They didn't really beat the world champions, they beat the B side. None the less it was a great win.

Really enjoyed that game - Perhaps not a classic, but there is something about a tense, low-scoring rugby game I enjoy.

Proper cheered when the kick went over and was a great atmosphere in the pub. Set up nicely for next week now

Agree about low scoring games, two of the best live games I’ve seen ended up 6-6 and 9-9.
