South Africa 30-14 Wales: Hosts end tourists' dream in Cape Town
Wales bravely failed in a bid to win a first series against the Springboks in South Africa as the hosts triumphed in the third Test decider in Cape Town.
After losing at home to Italy in March in the final game of this year's Six Nations, Wales were written off against the world champions. Faletau was shaking his head as he left the field with an injury to his side after the warm-up, consoled by Pivac, and his absence prompted a back-row reshuffle with Josh Navidi stepping up to number eight and Taine Basham coming on to the bench.South Africa head coach Jacques Nienaber had reverted to his tried and trusted side after making 14 changes for the second Test defeat.
The Springboks had to be content with an Handre Pollard penalty. South Africa were dominating the aerial battle in the early exchanges and full-back Damian Willemse collected his own kick before being hauled down illegally by Biggar. After North and Louis Rees-Zammit's bursts, Josh Adams set up the supporting flanker Reffell to score.
