Dragons RFC duo Will Rowlands and Taine Basham both featured as Wales bravely failed in a bid to win a first series against the Springboks in South Africa as the hosts triumphed in the third Test decider.
Rowlands started the clash in Cape Town while Basham was named on the bench after Taulupe Faletau and Gareth Anscombe were late Wales injury withdrawals.
South Africa fly-half Handre Pollard scored 20 points with hooker Bongi Mbonambi and captain Siya Kolisi crossing for tries.
Wales responded with a try for flanker Tommy Reffell and three Dan Biggar penalties.
Congratulations to Will, Taine and Ben Carter on the tour - safe trip home lads.
