The Wallabies claimed a 25-17 triumph over the Springboks to close out a Test rugby double-header at Adelaide Oval on Saturday | cadenhelmers
How do you sell rugby to an Aussie rules heartland? A man named Marika Koroibete, highlight reel try-savers and ball-playing giants make for a good start.
The man of the match left onlookers stunned when he came from nowhere to deny Springboks winger Makazole Mapimpi in the most spectacular fashion during the first half. It was a cover tackle good enough to rival George Gregan’s famous effort against the All Blacks in Sydney in 1994. Long before the attention turns to the Bledisloe, Australia’s focus will be on backing up this effort at the new $830 million Allianz Stadium in Sydney next Saturday night.The Wallabies’ outing in Adelaide was not perfect but still very impressive. McReight needed just 60 seconds to score the Australians’ first try.
McReight was everywhere. The Wallabies flanker was ruthless over the ball as he filled the void left in the No. 7 jersey by captain Michael Hooper, who left camp in Argentina due to mental health concerns.
