Perth, Australia (GenevaLunch) – South Africa, current world champions, inflicted  another defeat on the Australians in the latest Tri-Nations match. The Wallabies have lost their last six matches in the tournament while the Springboks have won the last five. The South African scrum-half Fourie du Preez was the star player on the field in a match that was more one-sided than the 25-32 final score suggests, at one stage South Africa led 13-29 before a late rally by the Aussies.

The Australians errors, especially under high kicks, revealed their nerves and rewarded a tactic that some have criticised.

After four games each South Africa leads with 17 points from New Zealand on eight, while Australia has just three.
