Conversely, Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus’s trickery inspired his side’s first try. With a lineout win five metres from Australia’s line, South Africa caught it at the back then flung it to the front in one swift movement to expose Australia on the blindside and allow captain Siya Kolisi to crash over from a rolling maul in the ninth minute.
South Africa weren’t perfect but their power and experience strangled Australia out of the game. In the 23rd minute they dragged the Australians left and right over eight phases before Pieter-Steph du Toit tore a hole in a bunched Wallabies defence to make it 14-0. After 30 minutes Australia had still not got within 25m of South Africa’s line.
South Africa went to the break with their biggest half-time lead over Australia in their history. They had run for 271m against Australia’s 74m, broken 21 tackles to Australia’s seven, made five breaks to Australia’s sole split. The Wallabies led in all the wrong areas – missing 21 tackles to the Springboks’ four, and give away eight penalties for twice as many as their rivals.
