SYDNEY :Australia bounced back from a humiliating loss in their last outing to beat world champions South Africa 25-17 at Adelaide Oval on Saturday to move to the top of the Rugby Championship standings.
"It was a tough tour of Argentina and I'm very proud of the effort we put in," said Australia captain James Slipper."There were parts of that game where we had to show a lot of character, and we scored when we had our chances." Lolesio added the extras and a penalty six minutes later to give the home side a 10-0 lead before the Springboks enjoyed any possession worth talking about.
Winger Makazole Mapimpi was hammered by his opposite number Koroibete as he launched himself at the line, however, and scrumhalf Faf de Klerk was shown a yellow card for slapping Nic White in the face at the back of a five-metre scrum. Lolesio added the conversion and another penalty to extend the lead to 22-3 and the path back into the match looked steep for the Springboks, even with the much vaunted"Bomb Squad" bench players on the field.
