Today we had the much awaited match between the Wallabies and the Springboks, taking place at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The Wallabies won convincingly, 21 / 6
The Wallabies came out firing from the first whistle, playing the better game, throughout the match. They scored first, through a Giteau penalty and stayed in front right to the end.
Initally it was trading penalties and drop goals and a hard physical battle. The Wallabies scored two tries, first by Ashley Cooper, and then near the end, one by James O’Conner.
The Springboks never crossed the allabie try line.
One important record was achieved by Morne Sten, becomming the Bok player to score the fastest 100 points in the history of the game, beating the record Jannie de Beer, who (Jannie) scored his 100 from 9 Tests.
