Wales came close in the end, but the South African defence held up well to secure the victory. Both sides scored three tries, but South Africa’s kicking gave them the edge in the end.
Danie Rossouw was outstanding for the Springboks.
South Africa hit the lead for the first time after 42 minutes when flanker Dewald Potgieter took the ball from Danie Rossouw and surged over for a converted try.
