Wales returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion with an eight-try victory over South Africa at Cardiff Arms Park.

The hosts had gone nine Tests without a victory heading into their WXV Global Series opener, with a tight contest predicted against a Springboks side ranked three places above them in the world.

But Sean Lynn's bold selections paid off as Wales attacked with a freedom and intent they have not produced for years.

They were six tries to the good in a dominant first half, with the visitors made to pay for indiscipline.

Tighthead Sisilia Tuipulotu was back to her irrestistible best, scoring in either half, while co-captain Alex Callender returned from injury with a typically impressive player-of-the-match display.
