Highlights: Wales v South Africa - Rugby World Cup 2019
South Africa edged Wales 19-16 in an immensely tight and physical Rugby World Cup Semi-Final clash. The sides traded penalties before South Africa slotted two more to build a 9-3 lead. Wales would kick a penalty just before the break to reduce the deficit to only three points, 9-6 at halftime. Five minutes into the second half and we were all square at 9-9 as Wales added another penalty. The battle up front as well as the boot dominated for much of the match, but finally South Africa crossed for the games first try 56 minutes in to head into the final quarter with a 16-9 lead. The arm wrestle continued, but Wales hit back with a try to once again level matters at 16-16 with around 15 minutes remaining. The Springboks would however have the final say, as a penalty 5 minutes from full time saw them grind out an incredibly hard fought victory which sees them move on to take on England in the Final for Rugby's greatest prize.
