All is not well here in the land of the advantaged and the formerly-disadvantaged.Wales ended their autumn international series with a comfortable win over disorganised South Africa at the Principality Stadium.
Hooker Ken Owens' try from a lineout rumble in the 44th-minute opened a 14-point gap before Springbok flanker Uzair Cassiem hit back.
Justin Tipuric's try clinched only a third-ever win over the Springboks.
The defeat means South Africa have lost eight times in a calendar year for the first time in their history.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

He was worried that Loyiso Gola's absence in the USA meant another defection, like Trevor Noah?
He's following the Springboks example?
He's afraid this Gupta business will cause SA's credit rating to be lowered?

I'm pretty sure it's rugby. Here's the clue:oldr_n_wsr wrote:And what are we talking about now?
There's never a 14 point gap in soccer, and given the bizarre way they "score" in cricket (The Great Cricket Paradox: Astronomical Scores Are Achieved In A Game Where Almost Nothing Ever Happens) one team would probably be up by at least 50 points once they were at the 44 minute mark...in the 44th-minute opened a 14-point gap
