 JOHANNESBURG - Australia coach Joe Schmidt said he hoped a phenomenal 38-22 Rugby Championship comeback win over South Africa in Johannesburg showed his team are on the road towards earning respect.
The Wallabies, who had not beaten South Africa at Ellis Park since 1963, recovered from trailing 22-0 to beat the world champions and Rugby Championship title holders on Aug 16.
Following a torrid last few years, the victory continues Australia's resurgence after being well beaten in the first Test against the British and Irish Lions, losing the second by just three points and then winning the dead rubber 22-12.
"This has got to rank very highly in terms of wins and for me personally, since usually you get absolutely swamped here in the last quarter," said Schmidt.
"The players had to hang in there and I am really proud of the way they did that. You have got to earn respect every time you (play), you have to be really competitive in every game.
