Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Wales V South Africa. DESCRIPTION: You have got to be dead keen to turn out to watch rugger in the weather they had at Cardiff Arms Park. It was shocking: blowing a gale and pelting with rain. But this was the Springboks’ first test of the tour, and they’d never yet been beaten by Wales. And so it was again. It was a three-nil victory for them in the worst conditions possible. SHOTLIST: (Key). MS crowd sheltering from rain. CU people sheltering under mac from rain. GV teams lined up in track suits.
