Australia v South Africa LIVE rugby: Result and reaction as dominant Springboks rout Wallabies

And a penalty to Australia! Carlo Tizzano hasn’t necessarily had the impact he might have liked on debut, but that’s a better look at what the openside can do, capitalising on excellent tackling from Len Ikitau and Hunter Paisami with an expert jackal.

Stolen in the air! A first lineout misfire from Malcolm Marx, the Wallabies jumping at the front and getting a hand to the hooker’s throw. Jake Gordon hooks a very good clearance up beyond halfway.

More lienout variety from South Africa, tossed over the top to Cheslin Kolbe, who is well met by a couple of Australia n defenders. Harry Wilson muddies breakdown ball for Cobus Reinach, slowing South Africa, but Eben Etzebeth regathers momentum with a meaty carry into Hunter Paisami.

Paisami is somewhat harshly penalised for using hands on the floor when it appeared he had stripped Etzebeth in the air. Back the frustrtated Wallabies traipse to defend their own line.

Frost appears to have become a cyclops, his right eye closed and bruised. That can’t be helpful, but he’ll stick his head back into the scrum spokes as South Africa pile the pressure on again.

A penalty to the Springboks, almost inevitably.

Slipper manages to stabilise the Australian scrum slightly, holding his own against Frans Malherbe and Luke Pearce thus resetting it as it wheels. Slipper grabs the referee for a word while lock Nick Frost is strapped up, a wound on his head having opened up.

Noah Lolesio gets things going again. A couple of changes for Australia - Josh Nasser is indeed on for Matt Faessler, while James Slipper’s experience is also called for, replacing Isaac Kailea at loosehead.

Pretty much a two-thirds to a third split of possession and territory in favour of South Africa - it’s just impossible to beat a side like the Springboks if you don’t have kicking game parity at least.

What ides can Joe Schmidt come up with at the interval? It looks like Josh Nasser might be coming on, the replacement hooker stripped and ready. Andrew Kellaway is back amongst things, of course, having served his time in the sin bin.

Punishing defence, territorial dominance, set-piece supremacy - it’s been a vintage Springboks show so far in Brisbane. A couple of fun tactical tweaks have added to their sheer superiority over an out-matched Wallabies, who have battled brilliantly defensively but just not had enough nous or gnarl to swing the contest their way.

It’s probably a fair reflection of where these two sides are at. Can the hosts find something after half time?

A second 22 entry for Australia as the hooter blares. How they need a score here...

But they won’t get one. A fumble on the floor and that’s that for the first 40.
