South Africa v Australia, Rugby Championship live: Springboks host opening match

Chosen by us to get you up to speed at a glance

Libbok does not miss this time and gets the first three points of the day for South Africa. It is 3-5.

Almost immediately after the kick-off, South Africa win a scrum. They are dominant at the scrum but are asked to play it. South Africa have a penalty advantage for offside and cannot do anything with that advantage. So South Africa will kick for goal in front of posts.

South Africa 0-5 Australia

Australia strike and score the first try of the game through Marika Koroibete. Initially from their own line-out on halfway, Australia lose it but regain possession quickly. The ball is then shipped out wide and Tom Wright passes onto Koroibete, who has enough speed to get in the corner. A great start for Australia in Eddie Jones’ first game in charge of his second tenure. Reece Hodge misses the touchline conversion.
