Except, the South Africans ended up losing to Wales 24-22 in their rugby tour closer on Saturday. The Springboks fought back from 21-3 down to lead for the first time at 22-21 with 15 minutes to go. Biggar set up to kick and Springboks fullback Andries Coetzee moved to cover the touchline. Just before halftime, Boks wing Dillyn Leyds counterattacked from his 22, Jesse Kriel extended it, and wing Warrick Gelant finished it off. Halfpenny’s penalty in the 68th put Wales back ahead, then Coetzee made a tactical mistake: He replaced the on-fire Pollard with Elton Jantjies.
