The Boks swept Wales 43-0 at Kings Park to claim a third straight Nations Championship bonus-point win, leaving them level with the All Blacks at the top of the southern section on points — and ahead on differential. The whitewash is the second consecutive one over Wales (following November's 73-0 in Cardiff), making it 116 unanswered points across two Tests. But Gavin Rich's match analysis is less about the scoreline than what it masked: a handling error count that reached 11 Bok knock-ons by halftime, an inconsistent aerial game from Fassi, and erratic field-kicking from debutant Moyo in the opening half-hour. The contrast with the All Blacks' clinical dismantling of Ireland at Eden Park earlier the same day was hard to ignore. Rich notes that the forwards — particularly Paul de Villiers, Pieter-Steph du Toit, both Wieses and Marx — were again dominant, and debutant Jaco Williams showed genuine promise, but the broader picture is of a team operating well within its ceiling at a moment when the Greatest Rivalry Series is approaching fast.
