[ICYMI] Dominant South Africa snap winless streak in Australia
South Africa's Franco Mostert was among the try scorers as they beat Australia 24-8A dynamic South Africa scored their first win on Australian soil in nine years Saturday, overpowering the Wallabies 24-8 in Sydney to get their Rugby Championship campaign back on track.
It elevated them to joint second on the Rugby Championship ladder, a point behind leaders New Zealand with two games to play, both against Argentina, who were thrashed 53-3 by the All Blacks in the earlier game. Defeat left Australia sharing the second spot on nine points, with Dave Rennie's inconsistent team again failing to back up a win, a trait that has dogged them all season.
"We're going into the Bledisloe now, so it's going to be two tough games coming up. We'll pick ourselves up. We’ve got a good group here and we'll rip in." South Africa was playing with real intent, dominating territory, but failed to capitalise on the numerical advantage as Australia's defence held firm.
