Debutant wing Jaco Williams scored a try and created another as South Africa thumped Wales 43-0 on Saturday to reclaim first place in the Nations Championship southern hemisphere standings.
Despite the wide winning margin in Durban, it was not a vintage performance by the Rugby World Cup title-holders, who committed numerous handling errors and conceded a string of penalties in the first half.
South Africa began the match needing a bonus-point win by at least 14 points to overtake New Zealand on points difference, after the All Blacks beat Ireland 40-21 in Auckland earlier.
That objective was achieved 40 seconds into the second half at Kings Park when a break by impressive lock Cobus Wiese set up Williams to go over in the corner.
