Polla Roos, captain of the Springboks, brought over a South African side almost as sensational as the All Blacks that had visited Wales and lost in 1905.
The first touring side from South Africa to ever play Wales in Wales produced a performance of grit, power and determination that set the benchmark and style for future clashes between the two countries.
Coming at the end of the golden era in Wales a talented but ageing Welsh team had no answers to three Springbok tries from Steve Joubert, Bob Loubser and Klondyke Raaff and Wales went down 0-11.
