Perth - Wing Rob Horne scored a thrilling try in the dying minutes as Australia overhauled the Springboks 24-23 for their first win of this year's Rugby Championship on Saturday.
As it happened: Australia v SA
The result will be a bitter pill for the visitors to swallow, especially after they talked about "cool heads" after coming back in the dying minutes against Argentina a fortnight ago to snatch victory in Salta.
"I thought we played pretty well in stages, but they played well right to the end and scored the try," said South Africa captain Jean de Villiers.
"It was a bit tough to defend with 14 players and a few mistakes cost us.
"I thought we did well in the first-half to play the conditions well, but we made a few bad errors in the second half."
