Overview

• Australia overturned a 22-0 deficit to beat South Africa 38-22 at Ellis Park, their first win there since 1963.
• South Africa’s injury list deepened with Kolisi (knee) out for Cape Town, Pieter-Steph du Toit sidelined by concussion, and wings Kurt-Lee Arendse and Edwill van der Merwe unavailable.
• Rassie Erasmus conceded coaching missteps and signaled a move away from expansive play toward a more pragmatic plan for the rematch.
• Cheslin Kolbe and Damian de Allende are expected to be available, while Australia lost Dylan Pietsch (broken jaw), Ben Donaldson (adductor) and James Slipper (concussion) and flew in Filipo Daugunu, Hamish Stewart and Rhys van Nek.
• The Wallabies are bracing for a ferocious response in Cape Town, stressing the need to back up the result at a venue where they have not won since 1992.
