Fortunately my son has a Sky sports account which allows me to watch on my iPad for free. No way would I pay them.

Have just given up my Premier subscription - too much Italian and Scottish football alongside dreadful URC coverage. I wish BBC Wales would get some cash and get back the Welsh games.

I have not posted since my computer failed (temporarily ) one minute after the end of the Italy game; and then my back up computer failed (permanently) five minutes later. It seemed an appropriate judgement on a game we threw away through slackness. Italy deserved to win.

Now I have to see how Lewis copes against SA! If I remember correctly, we once beat SA with Scott Andrews playing TH for 80 minutes.

I am not expecting a miracle today.

Me neither, could be a painful tour but we’ll see. Starting with Lewis at 3 is a big call.

I reckon that Pivac’s cunning plan is to try and swap Kitshoff for Rhys Carre after the last game, and hope that no one notices

five - nil five - nil five - nil five - nil five - nil five - nil five - nil five - nil

woot woot

Can anyone recommend a stream, please ?

I think its pay per view and they're usually pretty tightly secured. TXT updates and a bloody mary here!

The one I usually watch - vk rugbyonsofa isn’t working today.

I have Peacock.tv which has a lot of rugby in the US for 4.99 a month but not these summer games.

WTF is going on? Holy cow!

Thats a 3-score lead.

I fear RSA will be angry in the second half

Doesn't matter of the saffas continue shooting themselves in the foot so!

18-3! Pivac must tell his team it’s 0-0 and hit those Boks so hard, they won’t know what’s hit them! Dare I say a win is on the cards? Allez Wales!

Come on WALES. I can handle losing. It's the hope that gets me.

Dammit

100 per cent this. That was cruel. 15 v 12 at one point

Huge step up from South Africa in the second half and credit to them for finding a way. Ref was a bit card happy for my liking. Wales still could have won if the last conversion had gone over imho, but on to next week now. Don’t think there will be many changes (if any) if everyone is fit, hope Tomas Francis is ok.

Bloody hell.

We had a draw with 30 seconds to go and fucking Tomos fucking Williams fucking kicks the fucking ball back to them.

He joins Gareth Cooper on the select list of idiots who've lost tour games for us in the last minute.

Gareth Davies nearly did the same v Ireland last year too !!

I am sick of heroically losing by 2-3 points in the last 5 mins

This. South Africa were far stronger in the second half but we should have closed that game out better.

I’m gutted. We just lacked nous at the death. FFS a draw would have been a great result against the world champions in their much vaunted backyard.

We used to play up the jumper rugby for five minutes to close out close games. I wonder is this a coaching or a player problem?

I put it down to decision making on the field. Any game plan will need adaptation and players must have the confidence to do that. Holding onto a draw whilst down a couple of players would suggest that a succession of tight pick and his would be the best option for 30 seconds. Yet we kicked. It’s even more flabbergasting when you are down players and have been playing with two less players for quite a while.

It’s almost as if players aren’t thinking and adapting.

We got away with that so I'd managed to erase it from my memory. That was basically the same thing right?
