Fearless Wallabies ready for Bok blowback

August 19, 2025

AUSTRALIA won't fear any retaliation from the Springboks as they head into the second Test of the Rugby Championship in Cape Town on Saturday afternoon.

- LEIGHTON KΟΟΡΜΑΝ

That was the guarantee from 22-year-old outside centre Joseph Suaali'i on Monday morning as the Aussies brace for a full-on onslaught from the world champions after their Ellis Park disaster this past weekend.

The Wallabies opened the tournament with a resounding 38-22 victory and will come into the Test at the DHL Stadium as favourites to claim a back-to-back victory over the Boks for the first time in years.

After trailing 22-0 at a stage in Johannesburg, they scored 38 unanswered points to complete a shock comeback win over their hosts.

However, they are acutely aware of the Springboks' ability to dig deep and put up a performance to get them back into the tournament.
