World Champions Springboks have just proven why they are the number one side in the world as they have just decimated Wales 73-0 this morning at Principality Stadium.
South Africa have surpassed the record set by England for the most points scored against Wales at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
The record was set in the final match of the 2025 Guinness Six Nations, as Steve Borthwick’s side swept their rivals aside 68-14, which was also Wales’ greatest losing margin at home.
Up against a depleted Wales side in the 2025 Quilter Nations Series, Rassie Erasmus’ side levelled England’s points record on 70 minutes as fly-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu converted a Ruan Nortje try.
It was only a matter of minutes later before the world champions were breaking England’s record, as another lock, this time Eben Etzebeth, crossed the line on 75 minutes to extend the lead to 73-0.
Wales had to overhaul over half their squad for the match, as the contest fell outside the Test window.
The Springboks were also affected by the loss of players, though they were still able to field a remarkably strong side.
South Africa scored 11 unanswered tries to Gerhard Steenekamp, Wilco Louw, Ruan Nortje, Jasper Wiese, Canan Moodie, Andre Esterhuizen, Ethan Hooker, Eben Etzebeth with a double to Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu.
