An imperfect but composed Wales made history on Saturday evening by valiantly securing a dramatic 13-12 victory over the Springboks - their first ever on African soil - to set up the perfect finale in the three-match series in Cape Town next week.
That fire wasn't all that evident as South Africa's virtual scratch combination did most of the playing and surely should've converted that superiority into something more substantial on the scoreboard. But there was also an instance where South Africa's ball-in-hand approach was too predictable, an example being fullback Warrick Gelant's sweeping run and pass early in the first half perhaps going to debutant winger Kurt-Lee Arendse too early, meaning he was covered pretty well.
When veteran lock Alun Wyn Jones was yellow carded by referee Angus Gardner for a patently ridiculous hands-in call - he never touched the ball - circumstance was seemingly conspiring against the Welsh, who also saw inspirational pivot and skipper Dan Biggar leave the field.
