💨 Abstract

The Springboks suffered a shocking 38-22 defeat to Australia in the opening Rugby Championship match at Ellis Park. After a strong start, scoring three tries in the first 20 minutes, the Springboks' performance unraveled due to a mounting penalty count and resilient Australian play. Australia scored six tries, securing their first win at Ellis Park in 63 years and the Springboks' heaviest defeat since Rassie Erasmus took over as coach.
