  1. Full-time - Wales 16-52 South Africa

    Wales try to break clear but Tomos Williams coughs up possession in the tackle and that's it.

  2. Wales 16-52 South Africa

    Manie Libbok misses from distance as the clock ticks past the 80 and Wales have one more chance.

  3. Really?

    Wales 16-52 South Africa

    South Africa have a penalty but have opted to kick at goal!

    They obviously want to get back into the changing room ASAP.

    But it's odd!

  4. Wales 16-52 South Africa

    Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer is being belted out during a break in play.

    Wales haven't had a prayer today!

  5. Wales playing 'as individuals'

    Something positive for Wales? The lineout has been quite good but despite that Wales have been under a lot of pressure in this second half.

    You look at South Africa they're a complete team, they know their combinations but Wales don't know their best team.

    There are players out there for Wales out to prove a point and sometimes when you try to prove a point you go as individuals and you've seen that this afternoon.

  6. Wales 16-52 South Africa

    Great defending from Taine Basham and Jac Morgan to deny South Africa.

    I know the game has gone but Warren Gatland will at least the attitude from those two

  7. Wales 16-52 South Africa

    Just to confirm - sadly - this is a record win for South Africa in Cardiff.

    And you wouldn't put it past them to add more points!

    It's been brutal.

  8. Wales 16-52 South Africa

    TMO Joy Neville has just informed referee Andrew Brace that the yellow card for Damian Willemse is NOT a red card.

    So no concern for the full-back being banned for the World CUp.

  9. Wales 16-52 South Africa

    Yes unfortunately Ceri is right.

    Big crowd of more than 60,000 here today, but many have left early after this painful match.

  10. Wales 16-52 South Africa

    Some Wales fans are starting to leave early for the train queue.

    They've seen enough today.

    There will be no moving the South Africa fans, they're having a great afternoon in the capital.

  11. try

    Converted try - Wales 14-52 South Africa

    Sam Parry try, Cai Evans con

    At last, Wales have something. Tomos Williams scampers but is held short and the hooker picks up and wrestles his way over.

    Evans converts for his first Test points.

  12. Sin-bin - Damian Willemse

    Wales 9-52 South Africa

    He's got blood coming out of his head but Willemse is shown a yellow card for that dangerous tackle.

    It's going to be reviewed for a potential red card.

  13. Ouch!

    Wales 9-52 South Africa

    Oh that was a crunching hit that has left both Rio Dyer and Damian Willemse on the ground and hurt. Big clash of heads.

  14. Wales 'second best'

    Wales 9-52 South Africa

    Emyr Lewis
    Former Wales flanker on BBC Radio Cymru

    There's only ten minutes left for Wales so they need to get something from this game.

    At the moment they've been second best in every aspect.

    That was a brilliant part from Manie Libbok and Damian Willemse picked the perfect angle as Rio Dyer tries to go for the interception.

  15. Sin-bin - Teddy Williams

    Wales 9-52 South Africa

    Amid all that, Teddy Williams has been shown the yellow card just minutes after taking the field for his debut.

    Hardly the impact he was hoping to make in Test rugby!

  16. try

    Converted try: Wales 9-52 South Africa

    Damian Willemse try, Manie Libbok con

    The big lads truck it up and Manie Libbok flings out wide across the face of the Wales defenders and replacement Willemse canters over.

  17. No try

    Wales 9-45 South Africa

    Du Toit crashes over but couldn't get the ball down.

    But they're going again from a tap penalty.

  18. Wales 9-45 South Africa

    Ceri Coleman-Phillips
    BBC Sport Wales at Principality Stadium

    There's a guy wearing a fake cheetah skin that's gone down to the front row of the stand.

    He's doing his best to initiate a Mexican wave, we've only managed a ripple so far.

  19. Replacement - Wales

    Wales 9-45 South Africa

    Sam Costelow has taken a heavy blow to the head and he's off for a HIA.

    However here's an issue for Warren Gatland, he doesn't have another natural 10 on the bench.

    Cai Evans moves into position.

    As if Wales didn't already have an inexperienced back line!

  20. Wales 9-45 South Africa

    Yeah I'm struggling Ceri.
