Wales posted only a third victory over South Africa in 110 years as they ended their autumn Test series in winning fashion at the Principality Stadium.Full-back Leigh Halfpenny kicked 17 points, while hooker Ken Owens and flanker Justin Tipuric crossed for second-half tries, giving Wales a record 27-13 triumph against the Springboks.But while it was another Wales performance that by and large failed to hit the heights, they still ended the November schedule with three wins from four starts, equalling their previous-best 75 per cent winning return of 2002.Springboks fly-half Elton Jantjies booted a penalty double, while Pat Lambie converted flanker Uzair Cassiems late try on his Test debut - but South Africa were left reeling from an eighth Test defeat in 2016 under beleaguered head coach Allister Coetzee.Seven days after being beaten by Italy in Florence, the Springboks again came up short, and it is hard to imagine how Coetzee can continue in his post when South Africa resume international duty next year.Wales, though, can reflect on three November wins for a first time in 14 years when they saw off Romania, Fiji and Canada.Interim head coach Rob Howley, at the helm while Warren Gatland builds towards next years British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand, has come under fire for Wales perceived lack of flair, yet results suggest that Wales are in reasonable shape buiding towards next Februarys RBS 6 Nations opener against Italy in Rome.South Africa made all the initial running, dominating early territory through the attacking work of centres Francois Venter and debutant Rohan Janse van Rensburg, and they deservedly went ahead when Jantjies struck a seventh-minute penalty.Wales were slow out of the blocks in comparison, but they drew level five minutes later when Halfpenny found his range from two metres inside South Africas half, and he maintained his 100 per cent record through two further strikes in three minutes.South Africa were their own worst enemies, transgressing in open play, and French referee Romain Poite did not require a second invitation to punish them.Jantjies cut the gap through an angled penalty, but Halfpenny made it four penalties from four attempts eight minutes later, taking Wales 12-6 clear, which was the final scoreline against South Africa two years ago.There was little to enthuse the crowd in terms of attacking rugby, and perhaps their biggest cheer was reserved for half-time when it was announced that 61 times-capped number eight Taulupe Faletau had come on for his first autumn appearance after recovering from a serious knee injury.Halfpenny was the one constant in Wales performance, and another penalty made it 15-6 before the home forwards drove South Africa relentlessly back inside their own 22, and Scarlets forward Owens powered over from close range.South Africa, with four Test debutants in their starting line-up, seemingly had no answer to a 14-point deficit, offering next to nothing in attack as Wales comfortably closed out the game.They did, though, deliver a try 11 minutes from time when Cassiem crashed over from close range, with Lambies successful conversion meaning that Wales could not completely switch off.But they still had ammunition left in the tank, and Tipuric finished off in style two minutes from time with a try that Halfpenny converted, making it a 14-point winning margin.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Shelton Mitchell scored a career-high 18 points and grabbed five rebounds Sunday as Clemson defeated Alabama 67-54.Alabama (5-5) narrowed Clemsons lead to 11 points or less three times over the final 12 minutes. Clemsons Gabe Devoe responded by sinking 3-pointers the first two times to maintain the double-digit advantage for the Tigers (8-2).Fellow Tiger, Avry Holmes only points in the second half came on a 3-pointer that followed Devoes, a sequence that both coaches felt was critical in the game.It was big. Thats what you got to do in road games, Clemson coach Brad Brownell said. Make big shots, you know the home teams going to make a run or two.That big shot didnt fall the third time Devoe took one from behind the arc to secure Clemsons double-digit lead, and Alabama cut the lead down to nine points for the first time during the second half.Clemson held on, responding to the Crimson Tides late 7-0 run with a layup from Mitchell who also sank four free throws over the final minute of the game.Devoe finished with 11 points to join Mitchell in double figures for Clemson.Brownell said his teams defense wasnt up to his expectations in Clemsons game on Tuesday against SC State, but he thought it was a difference maker today, especially in the first half.I just think we kept them to one shot was a big thing, and I thought our guys were locked in, Brownell said. We had some time to get ready from our last game so we prepared very well. I thought our individual defense was pretty good.Avery Johnson Jr. came off the bench for the Crimson Tide to score a career-high 17 points. He was the only Alabama player to finish in double figures.We told our guys hes a great layup maker and thats a skill a lot of guards dont haave, being able to make shots over top of shot-blockers and big guys when you make penetration, Brownell said.ddddddddddddThe Crimson Tide outrebounded the Tigers 37-32 thanks in large part to the efforts of Donta Hall and Dazon Ingram who grabbed seven and six respectively.BIG PICTUREAlabama: The Crimson Tide was unable to overcome a first half that saw the team miss 11 straight shots from the floor and must now win one of the teams next two games to avoid starting Southeastern conference play under .500.Clemson: The Tigers overcame a sluggish start of their own to get revenge for last years 51-50 loss to the Crimson Tide and extended the teams current winning streak to six games with the victory.UP NEXTAlabama: The Crimson Tides tour of its home state continues with a trip to Huntsville, Alabama to face Arkansas State on Wednesday.Clemson: The Tigers can earn their second straight win against SEC competition with a road victory over rival South Carolina on Wednesday.HE SAID IT: Alabama coach Avery Johnson on taking care of the basketball: Like I tell our guys all the time. Think about your closest family member. Youre not going to throw them away because you love them right? Just think about this, so value that ball just like you value your closest family member.QUICK COMPARE:Alabama: The Crimson Tide finished the night 3-of-20 beyond the arc and only made one of seven attempts taken in the final three minutes.Clemson: The Tigers finished the night 9-of-22 shooting 3s and made three of six shots taken behind the arc in the final 11 minutes of the game and attempted none in the final three minutes.
