Tandy was asked about the failure to score against South Africa for a second successive time with the aggregate score in the past two games 116-0.

“It was pretty one-sided when it comes to us defending and getting the ball,” he admitted.

“Probably the one or two moments we did get an opportunity weren’t accurate enough.

“Whether it be a knock-on or whether there was space we didn’t take it and then we probably could have been a bit more ruthless when we had three or four penalties in a row, but we didn’t take that.

“South Africa are physical at the breakdown, they’re a well-oiled defensive unit as well.

“So there’s lots of things that we’ll have to get better at and grow again.”

Despite the result, Wales captain Dewi Lake stated he was massively proud of his troops.

“Some people might be shocked with me saying that with the scoreboard looking as it does, but there is a lot of improvement in that,” he added.

“You compare that performance to the performance in the autumn against the Springboks.

“We’re not happy with the nil on the scoreboard, we’re not happy with losing, there’s a lot for us to improve on, but we’ve had growth.

“I’m proud of every single one of those boys that pulled the jersey on and gave everything on that field.”
