SA Rugby says there were 51,762 spectators at this, the first local Test where spectators were allowed since August 2019. Watch below for goosebumps. (Made extra-special knowing that – after a nail-biting match – South Africa beat Wales in the Castle Lager Incoming Series Test match by 32-29 (despite the visitors holding an 18-3 lead at the break!).
