Only two test matches were played; Wales lost both.
First test
In the first test, Wales led after the first 20 minutes, but tries from Marius Joubert and Bobby Skinstad gave the first advantage (15-11) for the victorious Springboks.
Second Test
Wales again lost, but played a "fiercely contested" match according to BBC Sport. The tour showed the improvement that the coach Steve Hansen was waiting for.
