U19 International Series – SA “A” 17 – 18 Wales 20 Aug 2016

The first half between the SA Schools A team and Wales was tight as both sides tried hard to make their presence felt on attack and put their bodies on the line on defence. Each side lost a player to a yellow card during the first 15 minutes, but the SA Schools A team managed to score a try from a rolling maul compliments of flanker Francke Horn. The home team, however, suffered a blow shortly before the break as flyhalf Tyrone Green was sin-binned, but their solid defence throughout the half limited Wales to only a penalty despite their determined efforts to cross the chalk.

Wales continued to threaten in the opening exchanges of the second half, which allowed scrumhalf Dane Blacker to dash to the tryline for an 8-7 lead while Green was still in the sin bin. SA Schools A fullback Austin Davids missed a penalty soon after, but Green pushed the side ahead with a stunning try after kicking the ball through and gathering to touch down. The remaining minutes were thrilling as Wales scored two tries, while Mark Snyman scored a vital try for the hosts in the last minute. The unsuccessful conversion, however, saw them go down 18-17. 

Erasmus, coach of SA "A" side, admitted that his team was not at their best against Wales and said: “I am very disappointed, we didn’t play as well as we wanted to. But looking back at the tournament as a whole, it was a fantastic opportunity for the players to measure themselves against international competition.”
