South Africa showcased their dominance with a resounding 73-0 victory over Wales at the Principality Stadium. The scoring spree began early, with Steenekamp and Hooker crossing the line within the first 13 minutes, both converted by Feinberg-Mngomezulu. The South Africans continued to pile on the pressure and added further tries from Wiese, Louw, and van den Berg before halftime, leading 35-0 at the break. The second half saw more of the same, with Feinberg-Mngomezulu scoring a try of his own along with contributions from Moodie and Esterhuizen. Wales struggled to contain the relentless Springbok offense and spent time with a player down due to yellow cards issued to Plumtree and Wainwright. Eben Etzebeth's late red card was the only blemish on an otherwise stellar performance for South Africa. Ultimately, it was a comprehensive defeat for Wales, highlighting the gap between the two sides.
