Wales v South Africa LIVE: Rugby result and reaction from World Cup warm-up in Cardiff

There was always the feeling that this would be the real litmus test for Wales and this is a worrying result for their fans.

Fair to say that the close games with England are at one level and the Springboks are in a completely different league.

It’s becoming increasingly hard to think anything other than France, Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa are miles ahead of everyone else at the moment...

South Africa go coast to coast and score through Jesse Kriel! A dagger to the Welsh heart.

After the Dyer and Costelow breaks, Wales are well set in the Boks 22 but Pieter-Steph du Toit reads a Kieran Hardy pass, snaffles it up and sets off towards halfway.

Kriel is on his shoulder - the flanker decides a centre is a better bet to go all the way and he outpaces the despairing dive of Tom Rogers to score under the posts! Scintillating stuff. Easy conversion for Libbok - things going from bad to worse for Gatland and co.

More changes for the Boks as they empty their forwards from the bench. Franco Mostert and Duane Vermeulen on to complete the six new faces in the pack.

This is better from Wales though! Room down the left as Dyer streaks down the flank, inside to Costelow to make more ground although Moodie does well to bring him down from behind.

Hmmm. Wales weren’t really going anywhere there and then knock on in midfield.

Nicky Smith and Henry Thomas on as Wales also freshen up the front row. Ooof - the new props get decimated by the Bomb Squad squad and it’s another scrum penalty won by the Boks. Brutal.

Here come the bomb squad! Ox Nche, Bongi Mbonambi and Vincent Koch on for an all-new front row. Jeez! What a trio to have in reserve.

And Nche straight into the action. The Wales lineout struggles at the worst moment as Jean Kleyn gets a big paw up to disrupt and the mammoth prop gobbles up the loose ball to allow South Africa to clear. Frustrating for the hosts.

The Wales lineout continuing to function well - Dee to Wainwright working nicely.

Good, plunging carries by Dyer and then Morgan, the latter handing off Hendrikse, and Wales are well into the Boks 22. Back for a penalty and after consistently going for the posts in the first half, they kick for touch.

Great opportunity for a first try.

Lovely play by the Springboks, sweeping to the right. Manie Libbok slides through a gap in the defensive line but his pass is a shade behind Canan Moodie and the ball hits the ground.

Wales then manage to win a scrum! Frans Malherbe pinged for not driving straight and Costelow can gratefully clear to touch. Rio Dyer also back on so we’re at 15 vs 15 again!

South Africa run from deep as they continue to show their intentions. Great tackle by Jac Morgan to wrap up the slippery Cheslin Kolbe and drive him into touch.

Siya Kolisi was subbed at half-time, with Marco van Staden coming on. A good 40-minute outing for Kolisi on his return from an ACL injury.

Back underway and Wales need things to really, really turn around here in Cardiff... Rio Dyer has about three more minutes on his sin-bin by the way

Here is Mason Grady’s moment of madness. The young centre won’t want to see this again...
