South Africa's Damian Willemse broke Wales hearts with a match-winning kick in the dying moments as the Springboks beat them 32-29 this morning.

Captain Dan Biggar missed a kick to put Wales ahead before giving away the penalty that gave South Africa the win.

Wales led 18-3 at half-time thanks to two Louis Rees-Zammit tries but received four yellow cards.

South Africa bounced back with tries from Bongi Mbonambi, Malcolm Marx and Cheslin Kolbe and a penalty try.

It was a remarkable second half, in which Wales lost their discipline, with Biggar, Rees-Zammit, Alun Wyn Jones and Rhys Carre shown yellow cards as Wayne Pivac's side was reduced to 12 men at one point.
