    The Welsh front-row are getting a talking to from the referee at this scrum. Fair to say they're under the pump here.

    Cai Evans is considered an outsider to make the 33-man World Cup squad.

    But breaks like that will do his cause no harm at all!

    Jac Morgan showing he can pretty much do everything with a huge boot up field to relieve the danger as South Africa pressed.

    Should he have passed though?

    It was a brilliant finish from Canan Moodie, so swift on his feet, breaking back inside.

    No support back on the inside for Wales and easy for Moodie.

    South Africa's forwards are so damaging, breaking through the tackles and making breaks.

    Cai Evans gets the Welsh fans on their feet with a scorching break from his own 22-yard line.

    Oh his dad will have enjoyed that.

    However Malcolm Marx gets a crucial turnover.

    Costelow adds a third and Wales hit straight back to cut the gap to three points,

    Try-scorer Moodie took out oppsote number Dyer off the ball.

    That's turning into a tasty contest.

    South Africa just reminding us what they can do it attack.

    We've already seen the magic feet of Cheslin Kolbe out on the other wing.

    He generates the same level of excitement Shane Williams did back in the day!

    And they're over - Canan Moodie slides over in the right.

    Snyman, Jaden Hendrikse and Malcolm Marx combined then Willie Le Roux send's a lovely floated pass that the wing picks off his laces and dives over.

    Johnny Williams wins the penalty and then gives big South Africa flanker Du Toit a shove.

    I suspect Warren Gatland will quietly like that!

    That's 0/2 for the Springbok fly-half.

    Yeah Gareth is right.

    Ben Carter and Aaron Wainwright winning clean ball at the lineouts.

    However we've now had three penalties and Wales have given away a free-kick and two penalties.

    They have to find a way of holding that scrum.

    While the scrum is struggling, the lineout issues at Twickenham last weekend, when Wales lost six of their own throws, are not being repeated yet.

    Forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys took responsibility last weekend after trying to implement something new and the old methods are working. So far.

    He may be small but Rio Dyer is proving pretty handy in the air.

    He leapt like a salmon to beat Canan Moodie to that cross-field kick.

    Shouts of 'Bokke, Bokke' ringing out all around here at the Principality Stadium... this is meant to be Wales' home game!

    Wales a bit too eager to get the early shove there and South Africa get to boot the ball clear from a free-kick.

    South Africa know exactly how to defend a lineout maul and now we have the game's first scrum.

    What a test for the two rookie Cardiff props against the Boks' bomb squad.
