Wales head coach Steve Tandy expressed his deep disappointment following a 43-0 defeat to South Africa in the Nations Championship finale. The loss marked another scoreless outing for Wales against the Springboks, who solidified their status as convincing winners in Durban.

This defeat echoes a previous encounter in November, where Wales suffered a staggering 73-0 loss, conceding 11 tries in what was their heaviest home defeat.

In this latest match, South Africa, while not as dominant as before, still managed to cross the line seven times. The scorers included:

• Jasper Wiese
• Cobus Reinach
• Jesse Kriel
• Jaco Williams
• Herschel Jantjies
• Kurt-Lee Arendse
• Paul de Villiers

Tandy acknowledged the effort of his team, stating, "I commend the team around the effort, they stayed in the fight for large parts of the game." However, he lamented the lack of scoring opportunities, revealing that the aggregate score from the last two matches against South Africa stands at 116-0.

It was pretty one-sided when it comes to us defending and getting the ball,

Tandy concluded by highlighting the pride in his players' hard work, as they look to grow and improve moving forward.
