Springboks Defeat Wales: The Ultimate Breakdown & Analysis

Loading player...
The Rugby World Cup champion Springboks defeated Wales 45-12 on Saturday in Cardiff to end the year on a high. It is the first time since 2013 that South Africa have gone undefeated on an end of year, November tour. The Boks have also now won 11 of their last 13 and 21 of their last 24 Test matches. The trophy cabinet is full. The Springboks hold the Rugby World Cup, Rugby Championship, Mandela Plate, Freedom Cup and Qatar Airways Cup. As for Wales the situation appears dire. They have completed a calendar year without a victory for the first time since 1937. But in this episode Peter explains why there might be hope yet for the Welsh, and perhaps no hope at all for anyone who gets in the way of the current Springbok team.
