The article, shortened and in plain language
Australia beat South Africa 42-38 in World Cup warning.
Les Kiss’s side reduced to 11 men in final 15 minutes.
On a weekend when the AFL and NRL delivered fairytale comebacks, the Wallabies trumped both rival codes, hammering rugby’s No 1 team with a skilful display that ended in bizarre circumstances when the men in gold held on despite being reduced to 11 players at the end.
Fittingly, the victory found the Wallabies harnessing the aerial powers of Australian Rules and the rambunctious power of rugby league to dominate rugby’s world champions with an inventive five-try performance that kept alive new coach Les Kiss’s unbeaten record and breathed new hope into the hearts of Australian fans nationwide.
After pounding the All Blacks with a 3-1 series victory this month, Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus had made 14 changes, promoting 10 World Cup winners for this one-off Test. Australia had shuffled too, promoting Ben Donaldson to fly half after Carter Gordon broke his leg against Argentina, losing lineout caller Josh Canham to a hamstring tear on match-eve.
Kiss liked the idea of an aerial weapon out wide and the switch looked like a masterstroke when Suaalii took a diving mark off the kick-off.
Then, in the 10th minute, South Africa rolled their maul upfield like a herd of cattle through clover, and Zachary Porthen crashed over to score.
Down 10-3 early, the Wallabies slowly settled. Max Jorgensen found room down the right and captain Harry Wilson went with him. The Wallabies swarmed and Lukhan Salakaia-Loto slipped an arm out of the collision and found Hunter Paisami who crossed under the posts for 10-all.
