Wales vs South Africa

Lineout for the Welsh after the Springboks threatened to score on the counter. Hardy boots out to end the half. 4:59PM ...

South Africa spread towards the centre - there is a penalty advantage - it comes back to the left and Pollard tries to tap it through. He overtakes former Wales fly-half and current national squad attack coach Stephen Jones. Wales work it back to the middle, Liam Williams and Rees-Zammit working together. Try not given. Two knock-ons, and it's a Wales scrum, 10 yards into their half. Extremely good play from the Welsh. Rapid and dynamic. South Africa come forward again. Hardy manages to boot away, and Wales maintain possession. SA with a deep, deep lineout on the right with three minutes of the half to go. A perfectly worked maul from the Springboks. Crucial for South African momentum into the break. South Africa drive down the right. Mbonambi's try on almost the stroke of half time is the difference.

The Springboks v Wales Test series comes down to the decider: Updates and all the news from Cape Town.

"We pointed out from the outset of the series that Wales will be desperate - and they showed that in the last two weeks. It is difficult to compare, apples and pears, but in the same breath it’s all intertwined because they sacrifice a lot for what you do as well.” Now it is a matter of going out there and doing the game justice.” This will be the 40th Test match between the two countries, with South Africa having won 31 of them, amid seven Welsh victories and a draw. It is not just that moment in time, it’s what you have worked for as a kid, with all those sessions you have done that nobody has seen. “It does hurt, I am not going to lie,” said the 34-year-old, who made 18 tackles during last weekend’s victory in Bloemfontein. “That is what I have been picked for over the years, to try and be physical. I have been sore for a few days after that Test last weekend but if we had lost, I would have been a lot more sore. I am probably going to have to go a lot harder again this weekend because they will be seething after that loss. Wales have been forced into a late change with last weekend's match-winner Gareth Anscombe withdrawing from the third Test series decider. We have got ourselves in this opportunity now, so we are just after a big 80 minutes to try and capitalise and finish off on a pretty positive tour. We look back on the first Test and we threw that one away, let’s be honest. There has been another late change to the Wales line-up, with No 8 Taulupe Faletau ruled out.

“It’s going to be a different challenge for this third and final Test, the boys will know that, but the confidence they will have taken from winning the second Test will be tremendous.” While Pivac has used continuity as his watchword on tour, and has made just once change to the team that won 13-12 in Bloemfontein a week ago, the hosts have made 10 changes. “It is tough sometimes to make that leap from club rugby to the international game as we have seen with different players,” says former Wales and Lions prop Jones, ahead of the third Test, highlights of which will be screened of S4C. Now, as the tour moves to the decider in Cape Town, Jones believes it is the emergence of Reffell at Leicester Tigers that is proving invaluable for coach Wayne Pivac and his men. The 23-year-old Wales flanker made an impressive debut for Wales in defeat to South Africa in the first Test and backed that up with a man-of-the-match display a week ago as the tourists levelled the series. Tommy Reffell has been backed to bring the eye of the Tiger into battle for Wales against the Springboks this weekend.

Latest updates from Cape Town as Wales take on the Springboks in the series decider.

To fight back and get back and play in the Welsh jersey is a huge thing for me. The first penalty comes at the maul, before Malcolm Marx carries punchily, and then again, forcing Dan Biggar to dart offside to prevent Faf de Klerk using quick ball. Much more like it from South Africa, leaning on their dominant forwards and eventually powering to victory. Still, loads of positives to take for Wales, who began the series as real outsiders but have been fully in every game. “You always know when you play South Africa it is going to be physical. That is the next level, that retention of the ball.

Live interactive commentary and scoring from the third Test between the Springboks and Wales in Cape Town.

Willemse does well to gather a hoist but is then forced into touch just outside the Wales 22. The Springboks attack but can't earn a clear advantage and the referee brings it back. Another scrum goes down and has to be reset and South Africa face the challenge of staying focused. The Springboks attack with advantage and burst into the Wales 22 and Biggar is lucky to stay on the park after a cynical professional foul. The Springboks go for safety on their exit and then get a gift from Wales as the lneout throw is skew and affords the Springboks a chance to get hold of the ball. The Springboks win another penalty as Wales launch a desperate last ditch attack and this will kill the game off. Wales knock on in attack and that's a let-off for the Springboks while the visitors have a bit of a moan to the referee about something. Wales win a penalty and Biggar calls for the tee. Wales restart the match and put the Springboks under pressure straight away and win a penalty. Wiese knocks on and then Wales win a penalty at the scrum which allows Biggar to push the Springboks back into their own half once more. Mapimpi is in at the corner but they will need to check this with the TMO and he has a foot in touch and they have to come back for a penalty to the Springboks. The Springboks keep Wales hemmed in and they earn penalty advantage but Willemse kicks and they don't earn any advantage and come back.

“We haven’t played a game there in about three to four weeks, so I am not 100% sure what the surface looks like at the moment,” he said. Wayne Pivac's men are looking for another victory to secure a historic series victory, but much of the early discussion online has been about the awful state of the pitch in Cape Town - with the turf cutting up badly in the first-half. Josh Adams required some treatment after slipping over, while both George North and Liam Williams lost their feet at times.

South Africa overpower Wales to win the third Test 30-14 in Cape Town. The result means that Siya Kolisi's side take the series 2-1.

Twice they were denied by the TMO – Makazole Mapimpi had a foot in touch before he crossed and Damian de Allende grounded the ball just short of the line. Then just before kick-off Taulupe Faletau was withdrawn from the starting XV meaning Josh Navidi came in at No 8 and Taine Basham joined the replacements. Wales had to deal with a fair bit of disruption on match day. The physicality was always bruising and at times brutal, with the Welsh players no doubt looking forward to a few weeks off after a long, tiring season. Dan Biggar added a penalty to reduce South Africa’s lead to two going into the final minutes of the half, but the hosts had the final say. In reality, there are positives for both teams to take.

Handre Pollard, Bongi Mbonambi and Siya Kolisi scored tries for the world champions.

And two more Pollard penalties in the final minutes closed out the game as South Africa ensured a winning send-off into their Rugby Championship campaign that begins against New Zealand in three weeks’ time. Ultimately, though, South Africa had too much in the tank for a Wales team that gave it everything and generated plenty of optimism for Pivac as the World Cup countdown continues. And it worked a treat as South Africa took the series 2-1 through tries from Handre Pollard, Bongi Mbonambi and Siya Kolisi, with Pollard kicking three conversions and three penalties for a 20-point haul.

Biggar kicked a penalty seven minutes before half-time, but South Africa then struck from a close-range lineout, driving Wales defenders backwards before Mbonambi touched down to mark his 50th cap in style. The Springboks’ head coach, Jacques Nienaber, recalled eight of South Africa’s 2019 World Cup-winning team after Wales levelled the series with a historic first away win over South Africa seven days ago. Wales’ penalty count quickly mounted up, conceding eight in the first 25 minutes, yet South Africa only held a 10-5 lead, which seemed scant reward for their territorial dominance.

Biggar completed his penalty hat-trick after 48 minutes, yet South Africa responded within five minutes through a Kolisi try that Pollard converted, and the Springboks led 24-14. Wales’ penalty count quickly mounted up, conceding eight in the first 25 minutes, yet South Africa only held a 10-5 lead, which seemed scant reward for their territorial dominance. And it worked a treat as South Africa took the series 2-1 through tries from Handre Pollard, Bongi Mbonambi and Siya Kolisi, with Pollard kicking three conversions and three penalties for a 20-point haul.

Wales coach Wayne Pivac believes the tour to South Africa can still be deemed a success despite defeat in the third Test decider.

"That's important because ultimately you go through some dark patches in Test matches and you've only got the bloke beside you to help you out. "For us, it was a big step in the right direction. "It's in the history books. "The sense in the dressing room is a little bit of one of frustration and we maybe let them off a little bit but overall it's been a pleasing campaign. "We fell a little bit short after a long season but we've said this is the standard we need to get to now, not the Six Nations where we fell off a little bit. We know we played very well on that occasion.
