Springboks Hunt Down Wales with a Ruthless 73-0 Victory

The Springboks ended their 2025 tour in absolute style, delivering a monster 73-0 victory over Wales in Cardiff. It wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. The Boks set sail with their harpoons ready, and Wales? Well, they were left floundering in the wake of a ruthless and relentless South African onslaught.

From the moment the whistle blew, South Africa dominated in every aspect of the game. Their forward pack, as solid as the Cape’s granite cliffs, smashed Wales back at every scrum and ruck. Gerhard Steenekamp and Co. set the tone early, charging over the line after a powerful drive, while the rest of the Boks took turns picking off Welsh defenders like easy targets on a shooting range.

The scoreboard kept ticking over as the Boks ran in try after try—11 in total. It was the kind of game where every touch of the ball looked like it might end up as a try. The speed and precision of the backline were in full flow, with Canan Moodie and Ruan Nortje joining the scoring parade, and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu playing the role of the maestro, finishing with two tries and 28 points from the boot.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. Eben Etzebeth picked up a red card late in the game for making contact with an opponent’s eyes, but by that stage, South Africa’s dominance was unchallenged. Even with a man down, Wales had no answers.

As the final whistle blew, the Springboks had not just won; they had delivered a lesson in physicality, speed, and skill. It was a clean sweep on the tour, an unbeaten record, and a brutal reminder to the world that the Boks are here to hunt, and any team daring to face them had better be ready for the storm.

With this kind of performance, 2025 will surely be remembered as the year the Boks went whale hunting in Cardiff—catching everything in their path, and sending Wales straight to the deep end.
