Canan Moodie marked his Test debut with a memorable try as the Springboks powered to a historic victory over the Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday.
With the 24-8 win, the Springboks beat the Wallabies in Australia for the first time since 2013, ending a nine-year wait.
The Boks weren’t perfect and wasted opportunities, but they shook the Wallabies with some uncompromising defence and heavy competing at the breakdown. Captain Siya Kolisi shone in that regard as he made three crucial steals and was consistently the second man in after an aerial contest. Much was made before the match of the Springboks’ trend of starting matches with a lack of intensity. However, that was much, much improved at the Allianz Stadium as the Boks were on the front foot from the first whistle, even though they were still wasteful with the plethora of opportunities they created.
