The tourists go into the corner, win the line-out and wave after wave of Australian gold crashes on the white cliffs of England.

But the hosts hold firm and captain Chris Robshaw limpets onto the ball at a ruck and wins the penalty - relief for the hosts.

From one end to the other as Wales lose their own line-out and Pat Lambie shuffles the hips and waltzes through a bunch of red-shirted defenders. He kicks ahead and defence has been turned into attack - but Leigh Halfpenny superbly clears the danger and, eventually, Wales are on the attack once more.

Wales have enjoyed 59% of possession but, perhaps, just need a touch more poise in the crucial moments. South Africa engage too early in the scrum, which gives the hosts another opportunity to go pumping and snorting into South Africa territory. A bit of ping-pong in midfield, but the ball falls to Dan Biggar and the outside-half craftily kicks into the corner, turning the visitors onto their heels.

Australia are starting to hit their stride out there. A gliding run from Nick Phipps sets Henry Speight free down the right and England infringe in panic. Penalty Australia - corner or go for goal?

Australia playing hot potato rugby out there and stretching England, but the move breaks down as scrum-half Ben Youngs munches his opposite number Nick Phipps.

"Wales are playing such intelligent rugby. They're playing the right parts of the pitch, but can they keep it up for 80 minutes?"

Quick line-out ball from Sam Warburton gives Wales a honeyed platform. Taulupe Faletau burst through midfield with as much regard to his safety as a crash test dummy. But errors are creeping into Wales' game, with the hosts ceding possession once again. Such errors could prove costly.

Here's another scrum, 30m from the Australia line. Home forwards licking their lips in anticipation, but the scrum does not budge.

England attack off the base down the blind-side and look to feed the flyer Jonny May, but Mike's Brown's pass is not great and Australia survive.

Decibels rise inside the Millennium Stadium as the hosts go wide, Leigh Halfpenny to Liam Williams... the winger with the grubber, but Lwazi Mvovo is alert to the danger, grabs the bouncing ball and runs into touch, giving Wales a line-out on South Africa's 22. Oh, it's nervy.

Dan Biggar is taken out in the air by the charging Ebden Etzebeth. " A genuine attempt to get the ball," says the referee, much to the crowd's displeasure. But Wales have a penalty and their outside-half expertly finds touch.

"A wonderful tackle from Courtney Lawes, try-saving stuff. He's saved the day, and is quite rightly getting lots of pats on the back. He's the sort of player that can inspire his teammates and can carry England to a victory."

"Rhys Webb is closing down the kickers very quickly for Wales. There's some good counter-rucking by the South Africans at the moment."

Leigh Halfpenny, the man who (almost) never misses, boots the ball onto the upright. It was a tough, lengthy kick for the full-back, though.

What a tackle from Courtney Lawes to deny Adam Ashley-Cooper - the giant second row scythes the Australia centre down at full pelt five metres out.

It's hard to think of any other second row who could have pulled that off and the Northampton man's athleticism brings real dynamism to the England pack.

At the resulting scrum England get right on top and win a penalty to lift the siege.

The Cardiff crowd hiss as they thought Dan Biggar was tackled late, but John Lacey ignores their cries. Jonathan Davies, though, believes Wales should have been awarded a penalty for an apparent trip. Nevertheless, Wales go pumping and snorting into South Africa territory - a cute short line-out giving Wales momentum - and Wales have another chance as South Africa are penalised in the tackle.

South Africa turn over Wales ball... Pat Lambie a touch too cute with the chip, giving Leigh Halfpenny a chance to counter-attack, but he makes little impact. The ball still belongs to those in red, though, and Rhys Webb spins it right.

Mike Brown is blatantly taken out as he chases his own kick ahead by Ben McCalman, George Ford to go for goal.

The 21-year-old fly-half is bang on the money and over sails the ball. Silly penalty that from McCalman.

It's a tricky one for Pat Lambie, the collector of 16 points in his team's victory over England, but it's a brilliant effort, sailing in between the posts.

"The only way to beat South Africa is with offloads. You need to have offloads and get behind the defensive line."

Oof. Wales penalised for not releasing, which gives the visitors the opportunity to kick into enemy territory. South Africa win the line-out, form a maul... switch left - before Dan Biggar is penalised for not releasing, presenting South Africa with the opportunity to kick to the posts.
