Wallabies stage stunning fightback to stun Boks
South Wales Evening Post
|August 18, 2025
AUSTRALIA produced a stunning comeback to beat world champions South Africa 38-22 in the Rugby Championship opener in Johannesburg.
-
Trailing by 22 points after 19 minutes, the Wallabies scored 38 unanswered points to stun the hosts and record their first win in the city since 1963.
The second-half fightback was nothing short of incredible from Joe Schmidt's side, who came into the game on the back of a 2-1 series defeat at the hands of the British and Irish Lions.
“This win is right up there, especially since it has been 60-odd years since we tasted success in Joburg,” said veteran Australia prop James Slipper.
“We have worked hard and we have got a bit of confidence, but we are still building.
“Credit to the boys that they stuck in there, and the bench really added value.
“We had a bit of a slow start and the Boks started really fast, but we knew that they would come at us hard.
