Scott Baldwin has warned Wales to expect a wounded beast when South Africa arrive in Cardiff on a face-saving mission next weekend.While woeful Wales played a get-out-of-jail card courtesy of Sam Davies late drop-goal to beat Japan 33-30 on Saturday, the Springboks floundered in Florence, being defeated by Italy for the first time in Test match history.Wales hooker Baldwin said: South Africa are going to come here as a wounded beast. But it is also a kick up the backside for us, and we know we have to put in a much better shift next week to get a result.If you look at our game against Australia (Wales lost 32-8 a fortnight ago) when we left with our tail between our legs, we fronted up against Argentina the following week, and I think that is what they (South Africa) will be trying to do.Last time they came here in 2014 we got a result, and it is on us to do it again. The ambition is there, but for some reason we are just not clicking.In fairness to the coaches, we are doing a lot of skill work in training, a lot of off-load work, skills under pressure and stuff like that, and as players we have got to look at ourselves in how we control the game when we are on the pitch.When the whistle goes at 2.30pm it is up to us to manage the game, and we need to manage it better. It was a disappointing game in nearly every aspect.Bizarrely, given their dismal form, victory over the Springboks would mean Wales winning three out of four autumn Tests this season, which is a feat they have not accomplished since 2002.We probably wont forget the Australia game and how much of a bad loss that was, Baldwin added. But it would probably be a satisfying autumn, I wouldnt say a good one.So bad were the Springboks that South African Rugby president Mark Alexander released a hard-hitting statement after the game, when he highlighted deeply worrying aspects of performances this year that have also included a record home loss against New Zealand and a 30-point thumping by England.The whole of South African rugby is extremely disappointed with this years Springbok results and deeply worrying aspects of the performances, Alexander said, in a statement posted on the official SA Rugby website.It has not been good enough, and no-one is pretending otherwise. It would be easy to lay the blame for that at one door or another and look for scapegoats, but it would also be an oversimplification.All of us within South African rugby need to look at ourselves and ask what we could have done differently in aid of the Springbok cause. Those questions will be asked at the end of the season when we will undertake a full review of the year and what new interventions may be needed to turn things around.We have a Test against Wales on Saturday, and then we will review the season and spend time determining a path for the future.If South Africa want to seek any consolation this week, though, it can probably be found in the fact that Wales look equally poor.Had Test rookie Davies not come up trumps 10 seconds from time, Wales would have been held at home by a team world-ranked five places below them before kick-off and who were without a number of leading players.Japan matched their highest points total against Wales and shared the try-count 3-3 as they displayed a superior attacking outlook to opponents devoid of ideas and lacking composure.Wales interim head coach Rob Howley was not alone in his opinion that the best team lost. A Wales starting XV containing seven British and Irish Lions Test players led Japan 14-6 and 24-13, but still could not avoid a nerve-shredding finale that saw former world junior player of the year Davies deliver the goods for a 73,000 crowd.Austin Rivers Rockets Jersey .C. -- After a listless first half, the Washington Wizards used a big third quarter run to beat the Charlotte Bobcats Bradley Beal scored 21 points and the Wizards used a 17-0 run in the third quarter to take control of what had been a close game and beat the Bobcats 97-83 on Tuesday night.

The result came just one week after Jenson Button qualified ninth at the Malaysian Grand Prix and Fernando Alonso overcame a 45-place grid penalty to finish seventh.McLaren has previously boasted about having one of the best chassis on the grid, but in Japan it qualified behind both Toro Rossos, which use a less powerful, year-old Ferrari power unit. McLaren racing director Boullier admitted the problem in Suzuka was not simply a lack of power, but a lack of performance from the chassis as well.We [McLaren and Honda] both do everything we can, he said. Obviously Honda entered Formula One not a very long time ago, so they are still obviously catching up with the others. We have decided on the McLaren side to reset our car philosophy last year, so we are catching up as well.There are some car attitudes that are conditioned by some kinds of corners where we are not the best. We know we are the best in some other type of corners, because there is some GPS traces available on the market to compare. This track doesnt suit our chassis and obviously oon the engine side we are not on the same performance level of Mercedes, so both combined make it a difficult weekend for us.ddddddddddddOn other track layouts we are surprisingly better just because for the same reasons we can exploit better the PU and we can use the car in some different attitudes where we know we are strong and we can be maybe the best chassis as well in some conditions.Asked where the McLaren would be with a Mercedes power unit, Boullier added: I dont think this weekend it would be at the top of the grid, but it would definitely be in a much better position.Honda F1 boss Hasegawa added: Its very tough [in Suzuka] and its a challenge for everything -- for the power unit, the downforce and the driver as well. Of course we need more power and maybe we can improve substantially [in all areas], apart from driver performance, I think.He joked: The positive side is Im proud we have some very good sake!Alonso took the 45-place grid penalty in Malaysia in order to use Hondas new and updated engine without penalty in Japan.Of course it is very disappointing and we expect more, Hasegawa said. The car characteristics are not suited to this circuit, so it is very unfortunate. But we took a great penalty in Malaysia, which was in preparation for this event of course. ' ' '
