South Africa uncharacteristically sloppy in possession, gifting Wales put-in at the scrum and a chance for Rhys Webb to find touch and bring a tense first half to a close.

"If South Africa go in at half-time leading, I don't know what they'll say in the Wales dressing room. Wales should be leading by a lot of points."

Two minutes remaining and Wales are penalised for a wonky throw-in at the line-out. Silly errors. Warren Gatland's men are then penalised for taking the man out, Alun Wyn Jones putting his hand on Victor Matfield's jersey. South Africa inside the Wales 22 once more...

Undoubtedly the best half of the autumn from England.

The pack is firing in all aspects - Courtney Lawes is an Australian nightmare in incarnate - but it's what's happening when the ball goes to the half-backs that is really making the difference.

Ben Youngs and George Ford are both kicking accurately to win good field position, and when Ford gets the ball in hand the England backs suddenly look a threat. Promising.

Mike Brown's raking left foot finds grass deep inside Australia territory and the Wallabies' attempt to run the ball back ends in a penalty for side entry at a ruck. Can George Ford put the icing on England's first 40?

Nope, the fly-half's effort slides just wide of the posts with the final kick of the half.

"Gethin Jenkins had a massive hit there. I have total respect for the front row. He's just smashed someone, he's come off second best, and he's straight into a scrum eight metres from his own line, where the pressure is on."

South Africa nick the ball in the scrum. The visitors go on the attack... Will Wales' defence hold firm? Oof! Gethin Jenkins stands in the way of Bismarck du Plessis. Sam Warburton then turns himself into a brick wall... the pressure increases, but South Africa fumble and Wales are off the hook.

Nearly another try for England after they disrupt an Australian attack.

Ben Youngs kicks deep and Mike Brown and Anthony Watson's eyes both light up as they hare into the Wallaby 22 in chase, but as the latter tries to pick up at full pelt Bernard Foley does just enough to force the error.

A barnstorming run by Eben Etzebeth. The lock brushes aside Samson Lee but can't get away from Leigh Halfpenny's bone-crunching tackle. Wales could have been in trouble, but thanks to their full-back they have a scrum just inside their own 22.

"England finally making good use of their scrum. They're already in the ascendancy and a simple pair of hands sent Morgan through the gap. That's what a scrum is for, to put the opposition under real pressure."

"Wales have had so much pressure and so much territory and it's still 3-3. This is ominous."

The touch judges look at each other and decide Pat Lambie's effort didn't' make it. Incredibly, we're still even-stevens with under 10 minutes of the first half remaining.

"That England scrum was advancing at a rate of knots. That will send fear through the Australian pack, knowing they're going to be facing that each time."

Wales have the upper hand, but for how long will they have momentum? Oh. Wales go long at the line-out and the ball bobbles over every man. John Lacey blows his whistle. Dan Biggar, stuck in the bottom of the ruck, doesn't roll away. And Pat Lambie has a chance to aim for the posts.

"Wales have to get something from this pressure. You can't have so much momentum and not get any points, because South Africa will have their time in this game."

Another line-out won by Wales, the men in red rumble forward and it's Leigh Halfpenny who is within sniffing distance of the whitewash, but oh my giddy aunt, the hosts are turned over and South Africa have a scrum on their own 22.

Try for Ben Morgan? Looks like it to me but the TMO will rule - it is!

An Israel Folau knock-on gives England a scrum inside the Wallaby 22, they march forward and then give it a lash with an advantage safely tucked away.

Brad Barritt hammers over the gainline in midfield, quick ball follows and Ben Youngs and Tom Wood combine to feed number eight Morgan, a rampaging barrel of a man, and there's no stopping the Gloucester man from 10 metres. Great try by the sticks.

South Africa have Lwazi Mvovo to thank once again as the winger collects a kick ahead from Jonathan Davies. Wales, though, this time win the line-out and are awarded a penalty as Victor Matfield is penalised. Wales opt for a touch-finder, increasing the pressure, turning the screw... "Wales! Wales" scream the crowd.
