Pressure mounts on Wales head coach Warren Gatland to resign
The contest was more one-sided than the scoreline suggested and only the Springboks’ inaccuracy prevented it from being a real rout for the inexperienced home side.
That they did not make Wales pay more heavily on the scoreboard will be a frustration given they had spoken this week of an ’80-minute’ performance after wins over Scotland and England in which they had not been at their best. Wales finally got their hands on the ball on the stroke of halftime and after a succession of pick-and-drives from the forwards, it was swung wide for Dyer to cross in the corner.
Despite a disastrous year for Wales, losing all of their 11 tests, Gatland said he wants to remain as head coach, but admitted his future is uncertain following Saturday’s loss.
