Wallabies in wonderland at Ellis Park after shock comeback victory v Boks

- BY FRANCOIS DE WET

THE Springboks should be forgiven for having to put asynlappies on their heads after gooiing weg a 22-0 lead to go down 38-22 to Australia in the Rugby Championship at Ellis Park.

South Africa entered Saturday's game having not lost a Test to the Wallabies at Ellis Park since 1963.

That record looked like it was going to stay in tact as the Boks ran riot in the opening 20 minutes, racking up a 22-0 lead as Kurt-Lee Arendse scored the opening try from the first attacking move of the game.
