The Australian Wallabies delivered a significant upset, beating the world champion Springboks 42-38 in a Rugby Championship Test in Perth. This victory comes a year before the World Cup, with Australia sending a strong message to the competition.
The match saw the Wallabies, under new coach Les Kiss, score five tries in a skilful and courageous performance. The game concluded in unusual circumstances, with Australia holding on for the win despite having only 11 players on the field for the final 15 minutes.
The win marks the Wallabies' second trophy in as many months, as they also secured the Mandela Challenge Plate.
