Post-Match Reaction

It was a crazy last 10 minutes. But that first 70 minutes, the way we played, we implemented our game plan. We did exactly what we wanted. We stepped up in the physical battle and I'm so proud of the boys. It was always a challenge every time you take the field against the Springboks.

Springboks captain André Esterhuizen also commented on the match:

I think it was a pretty intense game and quite quick for Test match. But they (Wallabies) capitalised on all our errors and I think discipline let us down, especially in that first half. We let them in too many times and that really hurt us.

There's not even words to describe what happened just then. It's so out of the ordinary. Never seen anything like it. But so proud of the boys to put in that extra effort at the end, that serious care and fight that we always talk about down. We stuck in there and got the win.
