Hours after New Zealand’s proud reaction, South Africa also erased their slump from last week with an easy (8-24) win in Australia on Saturday. Jack Nynapper’s men also picked up an attacking bonus point thanks to four tries, to just one for the Australians.

Returning from the locker room, the Boks immediately drove in a try from third row Franco Mostert (3-17, 42nd). Magasol Mabimbi allowed herself to take revenge on Australian Marika Koroipete.
