Picture: MATT ROBERTS/GETTY IMAGESFlyhalf Quade Cooper celebrated his first Test in four years by slotting a penalty after the siren to secure Australia a tense 28-26 win over SA in their Rugby Championship clash on the Gold Coast on Sunday.
True to form, the Springboks scored their three tries from line-out drives, with Malcolm Marx’s second five-pointer putting the visitors in front with eight minutes left. “We were smart, we kicked appropriately, we played a fair bit of territory and got rewarded,” Rennie said. “It’s another learning curve.”
“Australia played well, they deserved to win,” he said. “I don’t think we were great today. I just thought we were a little off our game, especially from a discipline point of view.” SA skipper Siya Kolisi was yellow carded for a lifting tackle on Tom Banks in the 16th minute. That opened the door for Kellaway’s try, with inside centre Samu Kerevi stretching the Boks’ defence with a linebreak before floating a long pass wide to the winger who cut in from the right flank to touch down.
