Wales 5-38 South Africa
Gareth Griffiths BBC Sport Wales at Principality Stadium
It was feared the crowd might be down for this occasion because of Wales' losing run.
The attendance of 67,236 is actually higher than the average figure for this fixture in Cardiff since 2008 but is below the capacity which is just under 74,000.
There are a lot of Springboks supporters here as well!
Because of their size and physicality, the South Africans are able to win at the gain line with their hands free, expecting passes from each other, keeping that tempo high.
