I was moved by Wales’s heart and grit. They represented their country with distinction in front of their home crowd despite all the massive challenges off the pitch that don’t necessarily have anything to do with those boys putting their bodies on the line for their country. South Africa salutes you. Aros brodyr cryf! 💪🏻
Well done Wales, you are one of the great rugby nations and we in South Africa have the greatest respect for your nation. Your young men showed up and fought like lions. I have no doubt you will be back to your best soon. God bless from South Africa.
We wales 🏴 just played the best of the best those experienced monsters of men went against our young boys, and their heads diddnt drop and they kept staying positive, they diddnt try and slow the game down they did not use dirty slow down tactics at scrum time or line out time they really tried to beat the best in the world fair play I’m more hopeful for the future of wales rugby than I have been over the last 2yrs congratulations South Africa 🇿🇦 hopefully see u nxt autumn with a more experienced battle hardened welsh squad
They looked like they were there to learn evidenced by kicking for the corners and and throwing themselves into every contact situation. I am impressed.
Saffa supporter here - At least they had the guts to go on the pitch and play against the best team in the world and acquit themselves well, unlike some of the posts you see on social media. Wales will come right.
As a Wales supporter of 25+ yrs, I've seen the bad and the ugly and this is far worse than the ugliest. There is a reason why we have never lost this amount of times in a row and that used to be Italy as our saving grace but they are doing great and kicking our arse. Garland and his whole coaching staff need to go.
Well done Wales for not dropping your heads and doing your best under huge challenges. World Rugby needs you always.There was a time where the Springboks also had a tough time. Don't despair.
Think thy need a game plan thy play so negative just take the ball I dnt think thy learned other technique just to take the ball thy was so annoyed to play take the ball it's not good but every over seas team play like mad people without a game plan
@@maryjooste6161yes the tactics of kicking the ball away is ridiculous these lads are skilful players so allow them to play but unfortunately I don’t think gats will allow this gameplay
Bok supporter here. Wales have a lot of potential in this young team. They did very well today given their inexperience. The Welsh supporters need to back them all the way.
If you think Wales issues are down to the coach it’s ridiculous. Wales has little money, a broken club and schools systems and a decline in the numbers of players now and coming through. Gatland has not failed he’s doing the best he can with the pool he has. Short term it’s like getting Doctors to cross over the Severn Bridge and work in Wales. We need to pay foreign players to come to Wales in the short term to boost interest, boost confidence and skill levels and get Welsh youth and schools functioning plus lots of other things that I’m not qualified to say but Gats is. Support him and be Welsh ie. Not fair weather supporters. Or go watch football
Garland was responsible for the original 50 cap requirement which utterly failed , he oversaw welsh rugby for a very long time always playing the old guard and never bringing others through...
It is down to the coaches. Yes, the rest isn’t good at all, but his coaching is a joke. Great team at the chiefs and he won Zero out of 8, and won the award for worst coach in the league. Howley is even worse.
As a Springbok supporter from South Africa, I believe Wales coaching staff did a good job in preparing their team with a great attitude of never giving up. The average test rugby players in team is 14 caps. Two Springboks has more caps than their average of 15 players. Your Rugby Union needs to give Gatland more time to develop these players. They are young players, and time will mould them into great players.
@@TheDon431 wasnt aware eben etzebeth was a part of south africas B team? the depth SA has at the moment means they cant really field a B team, this team is just as strong as any other.
Bok fan here. Well done to Wales for a gutsy performance. You guys are where SA was in around 2017, I'm sure will get to see the how Welsch rugby will once again be one of the top teams in the world. You guys need to put together strong domestic competition like we do in SA
Thank you SA are our second team Generally and have been since 95 and Andre Joubert the Rolls Royce of full backs and top 3 with best full back with Cullen and JPR
Credit to Wales, a very young team that played the best they could. No off the ball negative stuff, just positive rugby. Gatland can only work with the talent he has at his disposal and will get Wales back as a force again, let's not forget that not too long ago playing Wales, under Gatland, was a super nervous affair! Respect from a Saffa.
Allow Wales to rebuild, supporters NEED to be there in the good times and bad ! So many journalists are there to divide, not support ! I doubt if they are even passionate about rugby. AB supporter
All the people calling for Gatland to go, look at what he's got to work with. Look how much experience he lost at the same time and the caps among the current team. I'm not saying they can't get to that level, but they're very young. The best watchmaker in the world, can't make a Rolex out of a casio. We need to keep Gatland, and get behind him and the team.
Tough result. But Jac Morgan certainly is an up and coming talent for the future. Puts hit after hit in and his body on the line. The type of player you can to galvanise a team around. From a Bok supporter, and moreover a rugby fan, all the best Wales!
If the powers that be remove Warren, it'll be the greatest mistake! We, SA, were there, it's tough when you have a young squad but Wales will be right up there💯 at the next world cup 🥰
As an Englishman who can well remember the 70s glory days I take no pleasure in seeing a great coach look as down as Gatland does and a great team struggle in the way they have. I hope I live to regret saying this but Wales will come back …. If they have players of the calibre of Lake and Morgan in their ranks they surely will.
From a Saffa. Gatland is a great coach, and great coaches don't become poor coaches overnight. He took Wales to no1 in 2019 and won lot of silverware. He is a Lions coach and a good guy. He is working with young inexperienced players. Welsh teams are struggling in the URC and there doesn't appear to be structures in place to bring players through the ranks and prepare them for test rugby. If you replace Gatland nothing will change, it may actually get worse. They need to rebuild, like Australia. NZ is building nicely. Ireland started putting structures in place around 2016 and are only now reaping the rewards. It took 8 years! Rassie started in 2018, took 6 years. The Boks are just in a great position at the moment blooding new players in an exprienced team. Wales need to accept it will take a couple of years and target 2032 to being back in the top 5.
Its not players or the coaches problem. Its the WRU Board and WRU executive team who more focused on WOKE policies and agendas rather than the state of the game in Wales. SACK the Board and the executive team based on THEIR performance not the coaches and players.
Conditioning, physicality, infrastructure, lacking in Wales, national and regional. Come on WRU, pull your finger out for the players, get a plan sorted, 1 year, 5 years, 10 years
Absolutely!! Wales played with heart and soul! Wales did not lie down man.. they brought to the Boks right to the end! 👏🏽👏🏽😎💫🌟 Congratulations 🥂🍾 Springboks 🎉 Don’t lose sight of the big picture Wales! 🏴 You can do this 👍🏽
Our average caps per mer player was 45 caps versus Wales average of 14 caps is the difference. Gatland is the right coach, the players need more experience and they got a good one tonight.
Well done SA, all the home nations need to take a good long look at Wales we will all be in the same state unless the governing body’s start to invest in grass roots
Sometimes it is mindboggling the unreasonable expectations that reporters have. Wales played a team with basically all the nominations for player of the year as well as the team which is world champions back-to-back. Expecting them to win is unfair.
Wales have been here before a few times since the heydays of the 70’s, have come through it slowly but surely & got back to playing good rugby & winning games. I have no doubt that Gotland is the coach that will make this happen given time & space
Saffa here...big up to Wales' tenacity...all teams at some stage goes through rebuilding abd orher phases...Bokke still making errors to adapt to new style, Australia went through samd phase...support your Coach and players irredpective the outcome...Hoya AmabokBokke🎉🎉🎉🎉
SAFFA here. It is not the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog. I thought the Wales team fought till the very end. Lots of fight in this puppy!!! a Bit more experience and this dog will be huge with lots of fight...you could see and sense it during the game. They are going to become one hell of a team. Nothing wrong with Gatland or them...just lack of experience and only time can fix this.
I watched the game yesterday and was impressed by a few key individuals I thought Botham showed him self to be a quality throughout Playing for the jersey, putting a shift in, giving our all …. It’s Hackneyed cliches. The captain and leaders need to be far more expansive in the modern game just making these bland hard working honest player type talents leaves me very cold What are we not hearing We thought about what we did at training, what applied to those phases played out intelligently…. Love Welsh rugby , I’ll own in I’m English and actually support France and Wales far above England and want to see Wales where they should be.
The keyboard experts want Gatland sacked , but who is the magician that can spirit up more experienced players and is also available to do the job and also would want it?
As a Englishman , i remember wales of the 90's/2000's and they were awesome . That time is past now and the union is looking dead and tired with no investment , the kids in wales don't have the passion anymore as youtube/tik tok have more appeal. I'm sorry for wales as and i hope one day they recover but their a small nation with little resources and money. DARK times ahead
Gutsy performance from Wales yesterday from a young team with talent to be developed! Keep it going Mr Gatland - no one better in the job currently so go for it and disregard the naysayers! ruglymad
I see SA struggle to get out of reverse gear, it would have been a massacre if they could switch of the forward in low gear, not serious, but WALES you got the talent. Not long ago, other teams had respect for you, time to filp the switch, we need you to be a power in world rugby again, you got 2.5yrs to stand your ground.
Hailed as a glorious defeat! the very definition of mediocrity…Gatland and Welsh rugby should be ashamed of the decline of this once competitive rugby nation
Bok supporter. Well done Boks. On the other hand this Welsh team must be commended, they never gave up till the final whistle. From their faces you could see they knew they were up against it. Two tries, one the last of the game tells the story. All is not lost, Boks have been through some rough times since 1995, many times written off by the rugby world. Boks cannot win forever, but we sure are enjoying the ride. The Bok team are a beacon of hope for a very troubled nation.
Rugby has changed so much, its all about being 6ft 8 and 20 stone now, The teams with the biggest players win, simple. The Welsh players were tiny compared to the Boks
If any Welshman is stupid enough to think that Gat's and the players are responsible for the results then they should move to England. If the reserve bench of the opposition has far more caps than the whole of the welsh team ......
I truly hope that Wales Rugby does not make the same mistake as England Rugby and call for Gatland's resignation. Sometimes, there simply isn't enough talent and that's not the coach's fault. Gatland, like Eddie Jones, are the best coaches Wales and England (respectively) have EVER had.
The regions are having to train against one another because their squads are so small. We only utilise a fraction of the country. If youre good and you live in Llanelli or swansea youll get a cap😂 The sporting talent in the north is completely unused in rugby at the top level.
Wales are the perfect example of a team and union that failed to future-proof, they played their established players without building depth and experience for when those players retired.
It’s a shame where Welsh rugby is at moment and it’s not going to get any better for 6 nations France away first game 😢I think it’s the wooden spoon for us 😢
I though most of the Welsh guys really left it out there but a few players looked like they were going through the motions and just not on the same emotional level - Tchinza just didn’t seem to have any dog in him
The WRU are a disaster. Where was the transition planning? The previous Welsh side was a force in world rugby, always punching well above their weight - given the demographic. To lose such talent in what seems like a season - well, you reap what you sow. They will be lucky to hold on to Gatland, not the other way about.
The problem is most Welsh supporters think they are a force in world rugby, the fact that they are not . They're not even in the second tier, maybe third at best . Gatland has an impossible job, but he's well paid , so don't feel sorry for him . If they sack him , who are they going to get to replace him ?
Wales have to move on from gatland eventually he will leave what happens then they never should have brought him back they would be further down the road of redeveloping them
I kept on thinking in 3 years time these Welsh guys are going to be aged in their mid twenties and our Springboks are going to be mid thirties or more . There is absolute hope for Wales . However I don’t think Gatland is the best coach to take them forward . He missed a chance with the Lions tour by playing Bok rugby and not utilising the talents in that Lions team . Get a modern forward thinking coach and build for RWC27 .
The welsh body language and above all of Mr Gatland from the outset was negative and defeatest! What a shame! Get off their back, turn their attitude around and the result will be astounding!
Warren handled that with humility and grace. Well done mate.
I was moved by Wales’s heart and grit. They represented their country with distinction in front of their home crowd despite all the massive challenges off the pitch that don’t necessarily have anything to do with those boys putting their bodies on the line for their country. South Africa salutes you. Aros brodyr cryf! 💪🏻

Could have been a 96-13 sort of day, so Wales actually did well considering. Their players just don't look well conditioned
Wales team had burn out. This team will rise up. I am South African and felt for the coaching staff of Wales. 😢
@@josephjones1093Gats isn’t the problem. His a fantastic coach, it’s his player pool that he has to choose from
12 straight losses sunds allot like Australia, Pumas and even South Africa at a point. I saw allot of talent.

well done for Welsh rugby , this will become a great team going forward
No it won’t
They won’t be a great team because they haven’t got the players and there’s not enough young talent coming through
It will be a tragedy if Welsh rugby doesn't pull itself out of its current difficulties. The players were incredible: courageous and determined.
He's the only coach that will bring us through the internal problems
Why didn’t Gatland win a game at the Chiefs? Was that a lack of players too?

Win ball, keep it, get into a scoring position and score. Is rugby that hard to coach?
Exactly! most teams don't understand that! They quick to kick away posession, how are you gonna score tries without a ball??? Common sense!
Well done lads, pick it up and run again, you took it well, what a game , salute
Georgia are looking good for the 6 nations.
The regions are having to train against one another because their squads are so small.
We only utilise a fraction of the country. If youre good and you live in Llanelli or swansea youll get a cap😂 The sporting talent in the north is completely unused in rugby at the top level.
How many Welsh go to URC games? Please answer because that money COULD help your local URC team.
Wales for 6 nations wins coming hang in there 🎉🎉❤
He can't get it over his lips to acknowledge SA being great.
Wales are the perfect example of a team and union that failed to future-proof, they played their established players without building depth and experience for when those players retired.
I dont know how Wales hasnt packed his bag. Paid his flight to anywhere. Do you think Africa would let a coach stay
In the PRO ERA just shouldn't get to 12 consecutive losses, should be gone , just not good enough.
It’s a shame where Welsh rugby is at moment and it’s not going to get any better for 6 nations France away first game 😢I think it’s the wooden spoon for us 😢
Dont loose heart you will get there
Honest guy, answers questions with integrity until deluded Borthwick…
I though most of the Welsh guys really left it out there but a few players looked like they were going through the motions and just not on the same emotional level - Tchinza just didn’t seem to have any dog in him
Thank you Warren, you did Welsh rugby proud, but it is time... Don't you think, but who???
Some of the comments here make me wish NZ never shared its systems and coaches with the world. Do it yourselves boy o!
The world is lucky we do- or else they would never catch up
The WRU are a disaster.
Where was the transition planning? The previous Welsh side was a force in world rugby, always punching well above their weight - given the demographic. To lose such talent in what seems like a season - well, you reap what you sow. They will be lucky to hold on to Gatland, not the other way about.
Some of those questions were very poor.
No use blaming the coach he does what he needs to do the players must just pick up experience
Warren wales did great excellent inthink they scummed awesome from wales supporter and Bok.supporter don't give up !!!!
The problem is most Welsh supporters think they are a force in world rugby, the fact that they are not . They're not even in the second tier, maybe third at best . Gatland has an impossible job, but he's well paid , so don't feel sorry for him . If they sack him , who are they going to get to replace him ?
Wales are to Rugby what Bangladesh are to Cricket 😢😢😢
Wales have to move on from gatland eventually he will leave what happens then they never should have brought him back they would be further down the road of redeveloping them
sound contented... honestly, where do these educations come from. WG is simply expressing an observation.
But CHOIR was banging 👌
Scrums omg 👊🥱
Did you sleep during the game mate,,,
I kept on thinking in 3 years time these Welsh guys are going to be aged in their mid twenties and our Springboks are going to be mid thirties or more . There is absolute hope for Wales . However I don’t think Gatland is the best coach to take them forward . He missed a chance with the Lions tour by playing Bok rugby and not utilising the talents in that Lions team . Get a modern forward thinking coach and build for RWC27 .
The welsh body language and above all of Mr Gatland from the outset was negative and defeatest!
What a shame!
Get off their back, turn their attitude around and the result will be astounding!
New coach needed..30 40 point drubbing..be proud?..i dont think so.
Should have resigned 5 test losses ago
