[@amarantespada9050]

Everyone was talking here last night about how we can’t wait for the Welsh team to grow into their own again and become a force. It was only 6 years ago that we were struggling and only a few years ago that you were a championship team and a hard nights work for any team to beat. You will come again my friend and world rugby can’t wait for it

[@Tooma1979]

Thankyou for teaching us 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 welsh a great lesson today playing the best of the best in the world can only help our young boys grow in experience and bond them as brothers I’m proud we diddnt use dirty tricks to slow down the line outs and scrums and I’m proud they kept their heads up and kept trying to play, compete and win against impossible odds against a group of monsters in green, I have more hope for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 rugby now than in the last 2 yrs and I’m hoping we can play again nxt autumn with our young boyos giving it a better challenge great to see u in wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 we hope you don’t leave it to long before coming back and visiting us again have a great Christmas you have had a fantastic yr u earned it

[@Baz-h9h]

Playing Wales is an honour. We do respect you guys the most, given us tough tough games way more often than not and all those grands slams won in the 6 nations era too. Wales will be back, tough nation

[@ABStudioProductions69]

Always remember from a Saffa - in 2019 before the world cup in August 2019 Wales was ranked #1 in the world and South Africa was ranked 4th - this is a young Welsh team who will rebuild and be a dominant force in international rugby

[@johnnieolivier1010]

Thanks for your kind words, I totally agree with you, the Welsh players really have to applaud for their positive play, that was a breath of fresh air to see a team with their backs against the wall and still not resort to underhand tactics. Much respect and I honestly believe this group of players have the ability to make Welsh rugby a powerhouse again

This thing of saying South Africans only rely on sport for happiness has to stop because it's a stupid lazy lie. This country offers beauty & plenty of activities. It offers opportunity to make money & if sports is your only source of happiness, then your family & friends are not serving you.
