Wales slump to a 12th loss in a row as the Springboks end their season on high.
And once second-rows Franco Mostert and Eben Etzebeth had crossed inside eight minutes, it looked almost a certainty.
If there were positives for Wales it came from their flankers Botham and Jac Morgan and, at least, a desire to compete to the final whistle. South Africa scored seven tries but could have scored many more as Kolisi, twice, and Fassi were held up over the line. By comparison the Springboks second-row pairing of Etzebeth and Mostert have 207 between them and, as if to ram home the point, it was that pair who opened the scoring.
Dominance at the scrum set up Louw for the fourth before Wales finally responded with a rare spell of possession on the stroke of half-time.
