Australia vs South Africa LIVE: Rugby Championship result and final score as Wallabies beat Springboks

Sharp miss pass from Nic White and that is brilliant from Tom Wright! The right wing puts his foot down, out-gassing Makazole Mapimpi, and keeps the movement alive with a back-door offload to Reece Hodge...

Solid enough from both sides. Warrick Gelant covers scrum-half with Faf de Klerk still on the naughty step for the next five minutes, which means there should be backfield space - Noah Lolesio kicks for it, but can’t get the angle right, allowing Damian Willemse to stide back over his line and ground for a goalline drop out.

South Africa again disrupt Australia’s lineout, and pick up the scraps at the back to earn them the ball. A high kick is fumbled from two sets of hands - first South African, then Australian - and South Africa’s new front row will have their first crack at the Australian scrum.

A cagey start to the second half, with Australia playing the percentages with the boot. They’ve got a bit of a gusting wind behind them, which propels Noah Lolesio’s kick down towards the goalposts, with Handre Pollard trotting back to pick up and climb into a clearance.

Reece Hodge claims the second half restart and we are back underway.

South Africa have brought on both Malcolm Marx and Steven Kitshoff - Joseph Dweba and Ox Nche have not re-emerged.

Australia were probably a little fortunate to only lose Tom Wright in that half. They were on a team warning at the time that Wright was sin binned, but the cynical nature in which he tackled Duane Vermeulen after the number eight’s quick tap merited a card regardless, and there is an argument that the Wallabies’ continued infringements the next time South Africa were in their territory should have prompted another card rather than a second warning.

The question of whether arms were used in Marika Koroibete’s cover tackle on Makazole Mapimpi also appears to have provoked some debate. I thought there was maybe just enough of a wrap...

A frustrating half for South Africa, further infuriated by that very, very soft yellow for Faf de Klerk on the stroke of half-time. Australia started fast, striking inside 90 seconds through Fraser McReight, and have since clung on gamely defensively, just about holding out with some vital interventions from McReight and Marika Koroibete particularly.

South Africa may rue their decision to turn down a couple of kickable penalties, though Handre Pollard also missed two from the tee. The Springboks need to keep their heads - they have had physical dominance and the Wallabies have been in disciplinary trouble.

It’s yellow! Faf de Klerk cannot believe it, a stunned, bemused exhale as Paul Williams reaches into his pocket. There was head contact, but that was all very tame, the connection slight and probably only picked up after a not out-of-character bit of play-acting from Nic White.

Siya Kolisi argues his case but Williams won’t be convinced to reconsider. Off goes De Klerk after a clumsy little slap, shaking his head all the way to the sin bin.

Nic White goes down to his knees clutching at his face after catching a straight hand to the right cheek from Faf de Klerk. I think the scrum-half was slapping at the ball rather than his opposite number - but TMO Brendon Pickerill wants a look...
