Rugby Union Australia V South Africa

Springboks deserved victors at Allianz Stadium in Sydney South Africa into second in standings with rugby union australia v south africa win. Goodness me. They stole the kick-off and No 8 Rob Valetini was soon rampaging up the right touchline, with McReight getting low to dive across the line two phases later. What a start from the Wallabies! Gordon and Koroibete combined for a length of the field score with the clock in the red, but it left the final result no less one-sided, with Jones and co much to ponder after a disappointing display. The kick to touch misses its target though and when Hodge bombs the return of serve Moodie errs trying to mark and execute a quick lineout.

South Africa v Australia

There was an opportunity to come here and put in a performance we could be proud of. Esterhuizen straightens after le Roux joins the line at second receiver. Until Wright kicked into a crowded area and the ball is eventually spilled by a Wallaby. Had the ball got to rugby union australia v south africa he would have definitely scored. We knew that the first 20 minutes would be tough. More power was needed in that penalty goal attempt by Reece Hodge as it drops short. The ball suoth slowed down but recycled. Kleyn stole the line-out but the knock auustralia is snaffled by Alaalatoa.
