    Wales 0-14 South Africa

    Dan Edwards probes with a speculative chip over the top but Damian Willemse is well positioned to clean up and is then taken high by opposite number Blair Murray.

    It's a penalty for South Africa to clear - but nothing more.

    Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu just gives another display of his wonderful skills, gliding between Aaron Wainwright and Gareth Thomas to send South Africa scorching through.

    Siya Kolisi is dragged down by Blair Murray but this Springboks fly-half is just a joy to watch.

    The same set up as against the Irish last week, Mngomezulu opening up the line and making Rio Dyer step in to expose a defensive error there.

    Wales need to be more careful.

    It was a little bit too easy for South Africa, Wales left such a massive gap and that was slack defending from Wales.

    Hooker try, Feinbuerg-Mngomezulu con

    Ethan Hooker beats three men out wide and makes Blair Murray pay for that kick.

    From the scrum, South Africa go right where full-back Damien Willemse's delightful reverse pass releases the wing.

    Hooker still had a lot to do but shrugs off some slack tackling.

    Wales 0-7 South Africa

    Blair Murray goes for broke but fires a left-footed kick from inside his own half that bounces out of play beyond the try line.

    So close to a 50-22 but now South Africa have a scrum mid-way in Wales territory.

    That is what I was worried about, Wales losing the scrum and the South African forwards went around the corner and they’re ahead.

    Pure South African physicality.

    Steenekamp try, Feinberg-Mngomezulu con

    I spoke too soon and prop Gerhard Steenekamp is over for a try on his first start.

    He spotted a gap between the two Welsh props on the fringe of the ruck and barged straight through them.

    They gave him far too much space to stop him from there.

    Don’t be surprised if you see a happy Rassie on that scrum.

    He’s got a box of tricks.

    Wales 0-0 South Africa

    Wow. South Africa just flexed their muscles in the next scrum and absolutely demolished the Welsh pack.

    That was frighteningly impressive and now they have a lineout deep inside the Welsh half.

    Oh... and Wales have just won a free kick from the game's first scrum. What's going on?

    Wales 0-0 South Africa

    Green shoots of promise for Wales as Alex Mann takes the first lineout and Ellis Mee shows great hands to gather a ball off his ankles and hoof the ball up field.

    The lineout has been an area of weakness this month but needs to be spot on today.

    It will be no surprise the strength-in-depth between the two sides contrasts widely.

    Rassie Erasmus can still call on 899 caps in his matchday squad.

    In fact his bench has more caps - 374 - than Wales' entire 23-man squad - 306 - with Tandy forced to name a weakened side to take on the world champions.

    It is the most inexperienced Welsh pack since the first Test in Argentina in 2018 when the forwards had just 81 caps between them.

    Can you name them?

    Here's the answer... Rob Evans (25 caps), Elliot Dee (8), Dillon Lewis (3), Adam Beard (2), Cory Hill (16), Seb Davies (5), James Davies (1) and Ross Moriarty (21)

    We’re up against a huge South Africa team and can we just tell the ref to avoid set pieces please?

    The atmosphere here is building, we’re waiting for the teams and it’s amazing!

    Not often a replacement leads out a team but Cobus Reinach is handed that honour ahead of what is set to be his 50th cap.

    He's actually the only back on the Springbok bench so the odds are pretty good that he's going to get on!

    Teams are out and we're only a few minutes from kick-off.

    Wales v South Africa (15:10 GMT)

    Believe it or not, there was a time, not so long ago, when Wales actually enjoyed playing South Africa.

    Under the guidance of Warren Gatland and leadership of Sam Warburton and Alun Wyn Jones, Wales were victorious five times out of six between November 2014 and November 2018,

    Unfortunately that one defeat was when it really mattered, in a World Cup quarter-final.

    • 2014 - Wales 12-6 South Africa
    • 2015 - South Africa 23-19 Wales (Twickenham)
    • 2016 - Wales 27-13 South Africa
    • 2017 - Wales 24-22 South Africa
    • 2018 - South Africa 20-22 Wales (Washington)
    • 2018 - Wales 20-11 South Africa
