Handre Pollard, who scored 20 points including three conversions and three penalties, and Bongi Mbonambi were the other try scorers for South Africa, who led 17-8 at half-time. Wales suffered a severe blow just before the kick-off when No. 8 Taulupe Faletau was injured while warming up and had to be replaced by Josh Navidi with Taine Basham promoted to the bench.
Intense pressure from the home team close to the tourists' tryline followed and they stretched the lead to 10 points by the 16th minute as Pollard dived over close to the posts and converted his try. Star Springboks winger Cheslin Kolbe then had to leave the field injured with veteran Willie le Roux coming on and forcing a backline reshuffle that included full-back Damian de Allende moving to centre.
