    Strong side, and stronger without Le Roux IMO. Sorry Wales.
    It gets worse

    I genuinely feel sorry for them. ABs first now South Africa.

    And Australia for the cherry on top

    And the way it’s going we could well struggle against Fiji

    Avoid their forwards, they can tackle hard! Especially their 6!
    Actually, I wonder if you will see a different or even stronger Fiji than we did, since so many play for European clubs. (... and UK clubs? Not sure if I say European and UK now?)

    Are we likely to see AWJ playing again then, may make it back for another crack at the Six Nations?

    Glad I'm not going to this one (wedding)

    Masks on all the time now in the stadium where it's essentially like being outdoors but no masks in any of the pubs around Wales where it will be 10 deep at the bar

    Eluned Morgan can get fucked

    You wouldn’t bet against the guy. I’ve written him off too many times already.

    That looks weaker than the team v AB's.

    LRZ better than Owen Lane
    Tompkins in better form than J Williams
    Biggar match fit, Anscombe not yet

    Carre getting the start for finishing well against NZ
    Wyn Jones is the better of the two but got penalised heavily against NZ
    Could be tactical to combat SA prop substitutions

    AWJ injured so Rowlands next cab off the rank

    Moriarty injured so Jenkins next cab off the rank

    Overall a better back line, marginally worse pack.

    Ultimately it will be down to winning our own ball in the set piece

    Elias a very lucky man to be starting

    Owens' injury must be more serious than Pivac was saying before the AB test. He implied that Owens was close to being able to play.

    While I'm not looking forward to the pasting we're about to receive, it's kind of cool that whoever beats us is then instantly proclaimed world number 1

    Having an operation, expected to be ruled out for the Six Nations too.

    Shame he's stuck one short of 150 caps for Wales*. But you can't rule him out of a return until the ink's dry on his death certificate.

    *He's already on 162 including the Lions (I know the official records say 161, but nobody's given me a good reason why the Lions - Japan match shouldn't be a capped test, so I'm including it)

    Coincidence?

    South Africa hotel evacuated at 4am, Boks 'mingle with clubbers' on street

    The Springboks did not get a peaceful sleep ahead of their clash against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday - with an early morning wake-up call.

    That is ok, they'll take some well-earned breaks on the field.

    Real arm wrestle this game. Couple of yellow cards in the first half. Wales currently leading 15 - 12. Steyn super boot just kicked a 50m+ penalty.

    Some Welsh fan runs on to the field and stops Wales from scoring a probable try. Hilarious. He should probably move.
