Wales and South Africa rugby stars shared beers in the changing rooms after their autumn international clash at the weekend.

It’s a tradition that regularly takes place after Test matches, but the Welsh Rugby Union have shared access from the changing rooms.

Ex-Leicester Tigers back row team-mates Tommy Reffell and Jasper Wiese could be seen catching up, whilst Taine Plumtree chatted to Aphelele Fassi after emerging from the showers.

Big locks Will Rowlands and Jean Kleyn could also be seen having a chat, whilst ‘Boks prop Vincent Koch and Gareth Anscombe were locked in conversation. Rassie Erasmus and Wales medical manager Prav Mathema also had a drink together.

Rugby fans have been loving the clip, in something that eptimoses the respect shown between teams in rugby.

“Values of rugby. Win, lose but always stay humble. Miss these days,” explained former Wales star Andy Powell.

“I do love rugby camaraderie man. Battle it out hard on the field then some bevvies after,” said one fan.

“This is rugby heritage. Absolutely batter your opponent for 80 mins. Then grab a beer with them an hour later,” said another.

Wales were beaten 45-12 by the Springboks in Cardiff, thanks to seven tries on the night. Along with their power game, the world champions brought speed and skill to overwhelm Wales.

The defeat resulted in a 12th successive loss at Test level for Warren Gatland’s team, in the first winless calendar year since 1937.
