If you wanted to sum up Wales' defensive efforts on the weekend, then there's one statistic that tells the tale far better than anything else.
For the first time since Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber, the men who masterminded World Cup and Lions series victories, joined the Springbok coaching staff, South Africa were kept tryless in a match.
The run of crossing the whitewash stretches even further back than the arrival of Erasmus and Nienaber, back to November 2017 when Ireland held them out. That's a run of 43 consecutive games in which they've scored a try.
