South Africa bounced back from consecutive defeats with a comprehensive 31-8 Rugby Championship victory over Australia this morning.
The Springboks led 14-3 at the interval but the Wallabies were lucky not to be much further behind.
Heyneke Meyer’s men secured a full house of points after the break as Bryan Habana bagged a hat-trick to add to earlier scores from Zane Kirchner and Francois Louw.
Meanwhile, Robbie Deans’ Wallabies squad looks to have been even further depleted by injuries as they head to Argentina after Adam Ashley-Cooper was taken from the field on a stretcher.
In another Rugby Championship match at 11.10 today, the All Blacks will take on Argentina.
