  1. Hwyl fawr

    South Africa 23-19 Wales

    And that is that. Wales, having escaped from the Pool of Death, were unable to banish the Springboks and their World Cup is over. It was a step too far for a broken and bruised squad. 

    Now Warren Gatland must cajole his team for a whip-round for the £19.60 needed to cross the Severn Bridge, assuming they're going back over the bridge on coach. 

    Thanks, as always, for joining us. But don't despair, there's another quarter-final this evening  - France are preparing for a humdinger with New Zealand and live coverage of that has already begun.

  3. Habana 'unbelievably proud'

    South Africa 23-19 Wales

    Bryan Habana did not score the try he needed to become the most prolific try scorer in World Cup history, but he played his part in a nerve-shredding encounter. 

  4. South Africa have the upper hand

    South Africa 23-19 Wales

    To say South Africa have the upper hand against Wales is perhaps an understatement. Wales have only won two matches against the Boks in the last 100 years.

  5. Full points for Biggar and Davies

    South Africa 23-19 Wales

    As we bring this live commentary to a close, here's one final stat for you of the match. 

    Wales’ half-backs - Gareth Davies and Dan Biggar - scored all the points for their side for the third game at this World Cup. 

    The last time Wales’ starting half-backs scored all of Wales’ points in a single Test match before this tournament came at the 2011 World Cup against France. Make of that what you will.

    South Africa 23-19 Wales

    Penalties hurt Wales today. They conceded 12 in total (highlighted by the black dots) in key areas of the pitch.

    Fly-half Handre Pollard took advantage kicking five of them (shown by the white dots) and, in the end, his two misses did not cost his side.

    Wales fans would have been optimistic at half-time with their side leading 13-12. But perhaps a deeper look into history would added a jolt of realism to those optimistic souls. 

    The Springboks have trailed at half-time against Wales eight times in Test rugby but gone on to win seven of those games.

  17. Another close encounter

    South Africa 23-19 Wales

    Wales' recent history against the southern hemisphere's big cheeses makes for painful reading.

    South Africa have now won 17 of their last 18 against Wales, with seven of their last eight victories coming by fewer than 10 points.

    If only there was a prize for coming so close on so many occasions. 

  18. Lydiate the top tackler

    South Africa 23-19 Wales

    Wales' defence stood firm until the final five minutes against a crushing wave of Springbok attacks in the second half. 

    Their famous back-row triumvirate were to the fore, hunting in a pack, chopping down South African attacks, and no-one was more heroic in defence than flanker Dan Lydiate who made 21 tackles (missing just one) before being replaced late in the second half.

    Sam Warburton and Taulupe Faletau notched 17 tackles each. The only South African to reach double figures was Schalk Burger with 10.

    South Africa's back-row were immense. They took the game to Wales, working off the front foot and causing all manner of problems.

    We have already looked at Duane Vermeulen's contribution but Schalk Burger should not be overlooked.

    He had 26 carries - the highest of any player on the pitch - and also ran an impressive 55m.

  28. Vermeulen was key

    duane vermeulen

    South Africa's number eight Duane Vermeulen was crucial to victory.

    Not only was he the highest metre-maker in the game - that's normally one of the flyers in the back three - he made 15 carries and produced two off-loads, one of which was the gem that set up Fourie du Preez for the match-winning try.

    What if Jonathan Davies was playing? What if Scott Williams was fit? What if Rhys Webb could take to the field? Or if Warren Gatland could pick Liam Williams? 

    We'll never know if Wales could have beaten South Africa with their first-choice team, but the men who were on the field ran the two-time champions close. 

    South Africa have long forgotten about that stunning defeat by Japan, although they'll always be reminded of it. They're into the semi-finals. France or the All Blacks beckon.

    Duane Vermeulen with a peachy flick from the base of the scrum and scrum-half Fourie du Preez dashes down the blind-side and dives over. Alex Cuthbert being drawn in, creating space for the number nine. Handre Pollard misses with the tricky touchline conversion, though. 

  51. South Africa 18-19 Wales

    Dan Biggar

    While Dan Biggar debates with his physio, South Africa prepare to put in at the scrum... "I know it's really noisy, let's just respect each call, OK," says Wayne Barnes as the front rows go nose first to the turf. 

    We go again.

    Remarkable defence from Wales. You keep thinking the dam must break... How are any of the forwards still standing? Exhausting from 60m away.  

  59. South Africa 18-19 Wales

    They say forwards win matches.

    If Wales make it over the line it will be down to their pack, they have made 107 tackles between them.

    And that defensive effort was led by Dan Lydiate with 21 tackles alone.

    Tyler Morgan comes off

    James Hook is introduced and so is Justin Tipuric. Tyler Morgan and Dan Lydiate the men leaving the field. 12 minutes or so remaining. Knee-knocking stuff. Wales have a line-out a smidgen inside South Africa's half. 

  65. South Africa 18-19 Wales

    South Africa sniffing around Wales' 22m, but for how long can Wales hold on. Incredibly, they steal possession,  - Dan Lydiate magnificent - and kick downfield once more. 

    The men in red on the ropes, but they're rolling with the punches, asking the Springboks: "Is that all you've got?"

  66. South Africa 18-19 Wales

    Every time South Africa attack, Wales seem to force a turnover and have nine to the Springboks four.

    The Springboks are dominating possession but Wales' defense is holding firm.

    They have made 132 tackles, over twice as many as the Boks.

    For territory and possession there's only one team in this half, but South Africa lacking the guile to penetrate Wales' defence.

    Wales' rush defence firing on all cylinders. Dan Biggar getting man and ball to stop the flow of green shirts crashing towards his team-mates. 

    Duane Vermeulen going high on Jamie Roberts and Wales will be relieved that Dan Biggar can boot them into opposition territory for the first time since the second half kicked off.   

  76. South Africa 15-16 Wales

    As good as South Africa's back row has been in attack, Wales' back rowers are more than matching them in defence.

    Dan Lydiate has made a game-high 17 tackles, captain Sam Warburton has 12 tackles and four turnovers while number eight Taulupe Faletau has 12 tackles to add to his 10 carries.

  79. South Africa 15-16 Wales

    Willie le Roux

    Wales off the hook. For now. But the Springboks have enjoyed 75% possession in this half and, perhaps inevitably, gaps begin to open in Wales' defence. 

    A shuffle of the hips from Willie Le Roux and the full-back is sashaying towards the line. Brilliant. Bryan Habana waiting on the wing for the pass, but Wales' defence hold firm. Incredible from both sides.

    Wayne Barnes explains to Alun Wyn Jones that he collapsed the maul, which is why Handre Pollard has a straightforward attempt at the posts. 

    The outside-half screws his effort wide. Pollard has, perhaps momentarily, lost his nerve.  

  82. South Africa 15-16 Wales

    South Africa's back row are working well as a unit and causing Wales problems.

    Flanker Schalk Burger had had 17 carries and run 48m with the ball while Francois Louw has 35m, six carries and beaten two defenders.

    Then there is number eight Duane Vermeulen with 52m and seven carries.

    The outside-half goes through his idiosyncratic routine... looks at his target... boot to ball but his effort grazes the uprights... It had the distance, but not the accuracy. 

  111. 'Drama and excitement'

  112. 'No words'

    South Africa 12-10 Wales

    Is someone not happy with the official in charge of this game?

  113. Cost of ill-discipline

    South Africa 12-10 Wales

    All of South Africa's points have come from the boot of Handre Pollard.

    And Wales are making it too easy for the number 10, gifting him four penalties (show in white on the image below) in their half.

    The black spot shows Dan Biggar's penalty.

    Wales on the front foot... but they then lose possession on the floor. "Stand up, Reds, you've lost possession," says Wayne Barnes. Sam Warburton caught isolated as he was brought down by two beefy South Africans. 

  115. South Africa 12-10 Wales

    The ball spending some time in the air as the full-backs exchange kicks... Sam Warburton driving Lodewyk De Jager back and the Wales captain nicks the ball. A super human effort from the flanker.

    Francois Louw

    South Africa are leading on the scoreboard and also now in the possession stats.

    The Welsh penalty count is up to six, compared to three conceded by the Boks.

    Wales are also making more tackles (48 to 29) while the Boks have run 165m in attack compared to Wales' 118m.

    South Africa's back-row of Schalk Burger, Francois Louw and Duane Vermeulen are seeing plenty of the ball with 92m made between them.

    Wales wing George North has run 53m with the ball already this match.

    Possession stat
  118. South Africa 12-10 Wales

    Duane Vermeulen needs to clean things up at the base of a  turning scrum... he somehow pops the ball to Fourie du Preez, who notices George North in No Man's Land... JP Pietersen chases the scrum-half's canny crossfield kick but, thankfully for the men in red, the ball evades the winger and bounces into touch. 

  119. South Africa 12-10 Wales

    A South Africa maul

    South Africa's forwards content to drive from the line-out, but they make inches rather than yards. Fourie du Preez with the grubber... Gareth Anscombe collects, weaves from one defender, his team-mates come to support him... Wales' defence made of titanium.

  122. South Africa 12-10 Wales

    Duane Vermeulen

    Circus tricks from Duane Vermeulen with the number eight offloading to JP Pietersen from the back of his hand. Alun Wyn Jones, though, ejects the Springbok winger into touch. 

    That could have been dangerous for Warren Gatland's men - an iffy box kick from Wales scrum-half Gareth Davies giving the Springboks a sniff. 

  123. 'Wales the better side'

    South Africa 12-10 Wales

  124. South Africa 12-10 Wales

    George North again looking for work, bursting through the middle of the field but the winger is isolated, which gives South Africa the chance to stem the Welsh tide with a pressure-relieving touchfinder.

  126. Davies joins top try scorers

    South Africa 12-10 Wales

    Gareth Davies's17th-minute try means the Wales scrum-half has drawn level with South Africa's Bryan Habana and New Zealand's Julian Savea as the tournament's top try scorer.

    Gareth Davies
  127. South Africa 12-10 Wales

    South Africa gathering momentum... sniping around Wales' 22m line. But Willie Le Roux loses ball in possession, he could do with some velcro on his hands. 

    Gareth Anscombe kicks downfield... George North, ubiquitous in this opening, sprints... but JP Pietersen sweeps up and boots to touch.

  130. South Africa 12-10 Wales

    Alex Cuthbert sees JP Pietersen charging towards him and the out-of-form Wales wing fumbles the ball, presenting the Springboks with a put-in in Wales' half. 

  131. South Africa 12-10 Wales

    Wales' forward rumble on, a menacing maul making inroads... they're awarded a penalty but Dan Biggar opts for touch and the Welshmen fail to gather the long throw in the line-out - and South Africa march on. There's adventure and there's folly.

    Oh, Wales. The men in red having problems at the restarts. Luke Charteris gifting Handre Pollard another aim at the posts and the Springbok outside-half continues his unblemished record.
