Four-try Wallabies inflict back-to-back defeats on Springboks eNCA
Centre Len Ikitau and wing Marika Koroibete scored two tries apiece the bonus point win as the Wallabies regained the Nelson Mandela Plate.
The South Africans had promised to come back strongly after last Sunday's loss, but they were on the back foot from the beginning when talismanic scrum-half Faf de Klerk was shown a yellow card in the 12th minute for a cynical infringement in front of the posts. Cooper, who missed the relatively easy conversion attempt for Ikitau's first try, converted from the sideline to make it 12-3.
