"I believe our team has been developing and advancing, this demonstrated a disciplined display," he stated
"The Welsh team are not guys who surrender easily yield to pressure, they fight until the end. This represented a remarkably efficient showing and us putting total dedication"
"Wales have a great coach and shall return. We recognize it can change and in 1998 we defeated them (comprehensively) and then lost soon after"
South Africa conclude the season ranked first globally following victories in back-to-back Rugby Championship titles
South Africa's team have showcased their extensive squad strength and prowess however the manager recalled their previous lower ranking
"We were in that situation and supporters expressing anger, yet Welsh supporters remain," he noted
