We have another contender on these isles. Ireland may be blazing the
trail at the moment and England recovering from their wobbles of last
season but Wales are as dangerous as any. Warren Gatland thinks his team
are still under the radar. If people are missing them, they are not
paying attention. This is their first clean sweep of an autumn series
and their ninth win in a row.
With this victory, their most impressive of the month, they
consolidate their position at number three in the world rankings. That
achievement may not come with a gong, but what confidence they seem to
be developing, just as Gatland’s long reign reaches its denouement, just
as World Cup year heaves into view.
In attack, he is yet another auxiliary centre. His outrageous dummy
in the 10th minute scuppered South Africa’s own all-action man, Malcolm
Marx, and he coolly sent Tomas Francis barrelling to the posts for the
game’s first try.
Six minutes later and Wales were over again, this one straight from
an attacking scrum. Jenkins, who played most of the game at No 8 after
Ross Moriarty’s early head injury, fed his scrum-half and Gareth
Anscombe, looping round from the blind, put away Liam Williams, who
stepped inside to the line.
South Africa’s efforts reached that pitch before the break, with
Jenkins intervening again to keep the ball off the ground, somehow, when
Jesse Kriel lunged for the line. But Kriel ended up with South Africa’s
try after the Springbok assault continued into the second half.
Two penalties were kicked to the corner before a stunning pass under
pressure by Willie le Roux put Kriel into the corner. Handré Pollard
missed the conversion from out wide, but five minutes later, at the
start of the final quarter, Elton Jantjies’ penalty pulled South Africa
back to 14-11 down.
By now Wales were under intense pressure whenever they were afforded a
glimpse of the ball. Jenkins performed wonders at the base of the
scrum. With a little more than 10 minutes remaining, Biggar scrambled a
chip to the corner, where Tipuric was over the ball to win a penalty,
Biggar converting for a measure of breathing space. That space grew
again when Biggar landed a second after a brilliant Jonathan Davies
counterattack. Wales had clear water.
Gatland’s finest hour may yet be to come. What a Six Nations we have in store, what a World Cup.
