The Springboks have defeated the Wallabies 23‑12 at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium this morning.

After defending their line like their lives depended on it in New Zealand the Springboks did exactly the same this morning.

They made an immense 148 tackles to the Wallabies' 71 and made them when the match was on the line.

That was in the 20 minutes after half time as the Australians enjoyed 78 percent total territory in the second half.

Wave after wave of Wallabies attack was repelled as the Boks proved they are the real deal in front of 41,332 rabid South African fans.

It was an improved Wallabies performance on many fronts but the cold hard fact remains that they have won just two of eight Tests this season.

Meanwhile in another Rugby Championship match, the All Blacks need a bonus point victory against Argentina this morning to secure the Rugby Championship title for a third consecutive year.

Argentina will host the All Blacks at 10.40am today.
