Reaction and recap as Wales lose 45-12 to South Africa to set new record run of defeats

South Africa captain Siya Kolisi told TNT: “It’s been a
really good tour. It hasn’t been perfect, the first two games we weren’t
happy – happy we won but there was so much we could have done better.

“The
results are important but it’s how you do things, the standards we set for
ourselves. We know we can do a little bit better as a group.

“We were where Wales are a couple
of years ago.

“The only thing I can say is you just can’t stop believing. If you
look at their starting backline, one of our guys had more caps than all of
them. You have to be realistic about these things.

“Some of them are getting
their first few caps, it takes time to build. As long as they keep working hard
and keep believing things will change, next year they will be a little bit more
experienced and can give a bit more.

“Things can take time. I’m so grateful for
the people of Wales who still came out to support them, because this is a proud
rugby nation just like South Africa.

“We have so much respect for the Welsh,
that’s why we had our best team on the field and we gave everything. I have no
doubt that Wales will pick it up.”
