I'm sad to report....

.....that after an heroic effort by our beloved WALES TEAM, who played like FIERY WELSH DRAGONS...

Wales lost their 2nd Test Match against the South Africa Sprinkboks in Nelspruit today, BY JUST ONE POINT :-( :-(

Despite putting their hearts and souls into this game, playing with drive and passion against the Mighty Machine that is the Springboks...

.....WALES FAILED TO MAKE HISTORY WITH THEIR VERY FIRST TEST WIN IN SOUTH AFRICA...

...conceding a PENALTY TRY in the 78th minute. The subsequent conversion sealed SOUTH AFRICA'S WIN against Wales by 1 point.

WALES:

Tries-
Jamie Roberts; Alex Cuthbert; Ken Owens ..................15points
