Roberts is a good player, but apart from bash it up, he is not showing much else tonight

Wales plenty of field position but a bit clueless and resorting to pretty crap kicks and getting hammered with interest by Franny Steyn. Wales scrum good, especially when Barnes stops JDP boring in. Penalty against Wales just before oranges was crap - JDP bound on the arm then dropped it. Offside line is fairly arbitrary too. Bokke backs look fairly predictable with 2 Steyns and Butch on there. But they will out-kick anyone all night, which Wales would do well to remember. Wales could win this, but won't, I suspect, unless they are a bit cleverer in the Bokke 22.

Guardians online commentary seems best of those I've found. Here's a tidbit:

35 min: Shane Williams taps and runs a quick penalty in the middle of the pitch and inside the Welsh half. It leads to yet another series of attacking probes from the Welsh. It's a fascinating battle as the nippy Welsh backs buzz about the muscular South Africans. It's a bit like the X-Wing fighters taking on the Death Star. The move breaks down when the Death Star puts in a massive tackle, the ball is grubber kicked through and Darth Steyn clears.
