MELBOURNE :Flyhalf Quade Cooper celebrated his first test in four years by slotting a penalty after the siren to secure Australia a tense 28-26 win over South Africa in their Rugby Championship clash on the Gold Coast on Sunday.

True to form, the Springboks scored their three tries from line-out drives, with Malcolm Marx's second five-pointer putting the visitors in front with eight minutes left. Springboks coach Jacques Nienaber lamented his team's indiscipline in a match blighted by two yellow cards for each side."I just thought we were a little bit off our game, especially from a discipline point of view."

South Africa skipper Siya Kolisi was yellow carded for a lifting tackle on Tom Banks in the 16th minute.
