No one has used the word revenge in the buildup to their latest duel but Wales and South Africa have unfinished business
Rugby is a game encompassing multiple scores of varying degrees accrued through various means. Five for a try, three for a drop-goal, a full seven for a penalty try.

Contests won or lost are not simply viewed as the singular event that they are, but are placed within a broader narrative that encompasses sweeping histories.
