South Africa just scraped past a patched up Welsh team that have suffered as many injuries as Ireland. Wales controlled the game, and defended heroically. It wasn't until Fourie du Preez' 75th minute try that got them into the lead where you thought that South Africa would win.
And that's not just the neutral view. South Africans took to twitter all throughout the game and showcased their emotional rollercoaster from the game. Fourie du Preez was being painted as the scapegoat before his decisive try. Credit to them though, they deservedly gave Wales a lot of credit for their efforts:
Boks very naive in that half. Caught out badly by both the Wales try and drop kick. Was pretty obvious Biggar was gonna go for DG

Wales best player Fourie, gives them enough time to prepare their Defence lines!

1st time in the whole tournament that the #Springboks are under real pressure. Do they have it in them? #RSAvWAL

#RWC2015 If Twickenham had a roof it would have just blown off. Duane Vermeulen: WHAT. A. PASS.

Heyneke Meyer is like the Bok version of Brendan Rogers -______- so so average

We are expected to be destroyed in the semi-final. We will take that! #BOKKE

I'm so angry but relieved, but mostly angry - bloody frauds!

Never in doubt.

What concerns me is if we manage to miraculously win this, how on earth do we expect to win against All Blacks next week?
