MAN-OF-THE-MATCH
Bok flank Pieter-Steph du Toit was again South Africa's standout player. He is massive to their cause!
29 Sep 2018
The Springboks enjoyed a meagre 40% possession and 36% territory but can again be proud of a staunch defensive effort.
The hosts made 129/148 tackles (87%), while the visitors only made 61/71 (86%).
29 Sep 2018
An ugly second half, but the Boks will take the win and run!
However, they will know they have lots to improve on...

FULL-TIME: South Africa 23-12 Australia

73'- Another Australian handling error scuppers another attacking opportunity... the execution of both teams leaves much to be desired today...
29 Sep 2018
73'- The Wallabies scrum has more than held their own against the Springboks today...
29 Sep 2018
72'- Time is running out for Australia, who win a scrum penalty just outside their own 22m area...

29 Sep 2018
67'- Kitshoff does well to win a turnover for the Boks, who opt to run from deep.
Kolbe sprints up to halfway before Folau tackles him high. The referee obliges by awarding a penalty to South Africa...

64'- Yet another penalty for Australia and this time referee Jerome Garces digs in his pocket and gives Aphiwe Dyantyi a YELLOW CARD.
29 Sep 2018
62'- Another penalty for Australia... their captain Michael Hooper asks for a yellow card and I have to say he has a point. The Boks have been leaking penalties inside their own 22m area in the last 10 minutes...

29 Sep 2018
