James Hook feels Wales are preventing themselves from becoming a top international side in the Wales On Sunday.
“It’s so frustrating to lose a game after being 16-3 up,” said Hook, who scored his 10th Wales try. “We had the game by the scruff of the neck and a few errors let us down.
“I don’t think we are very far away but at times we need to do the basics very well. Against a quality side like South Africa you can’t do it and they punished us.
“We shoot ourselves in the foot, we scored a try and then let them straight back into the game. Warren said we have got to do the basics well at times and not try and play too much rugby. We try to play too much rugby instead of just holding on to the ball and running hard like they did. We need to concentrate on not making any mistakes for five or 10 minutes immediately after we score."
