Minute-by-minute report: The Wallabies are hoping to get back to winning ways but face stiff competition in the guise of the world champion Springboks. Join Jonathan Howcroft
Hello everybody and welcome to live coverage of Australia vs South Africa in round three of theBoth teams head into today’s clash on the back of pretty chastening defeats, knowing another poor performance could significantly damage their spring campaigns.
“That Argentinian tour was one of the toughest I’ve been on,” stand-in skipper James Slipper told reporters this week. “We had plenty of blokes drop out of the team after it was named so there was a fair bit of adversity there but from adversity, you grow stronger and that’s where I’ve pushed the team.
The Springboks will start as favourites but their last victory over the Wallabies in Australia was back in 2013, and Australia won the last two head-to-heads in 2021. On top of that they shipped 35 points at home last time out to the under pressure All Blacks.
