// Eddie Jones' return as Wallabies coach has ended in disaster as Australia was mauled 43-12 by a second string Springboks side in Pretoria on Sunday (AEST). Wallabies winger Marika Koroibete and five-eighth Carter Gordon scored the first and last tries of the Rugby Championship opener but in between it was one way traffic. Pocket rocket winger Kurt-Lee Arendse scored a hat trick for South Africa, who sent 13 top players in an advance party to New Zealand yet still had all the firepower.

"This has been a physical masterclass from the Springboks." Wallabies hooker Dave Porecki and winger Suliasi Vunivalu were sinbinned as Australia's Loftus Versfeld record slipped to 0-8 while flanker Tom Hooper's Test debut ended early because of a shoulder injury.

"I think we had such high expectations. We know that it's a really challenging place to go and play a game of Test rugby against the reigning world champions. But I don't think any of us saw that coming and that's a really disappointing start to the campaign. "Some players got their opportunity to say why they should play in a World Cup and other players probably showed why they might not make the World Cup this year." https://twitter.com/StanSportRugby/status/1677723188502077440?s=20 Leading 17-5 at halftime, South Africa unleashed a ruthless performance in the second half, with Arendse completing his hat trick in the 50th minute and the Springboks adding two penalty tries and a final score by flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit. Koroibete flew down the left wing to put Australia into a surprise 5-0 lead in the eighth minute but the visitors were on the back foot for pretty much the entire game after that. Gordon came off the bench for his Test debut and marked it with a breakaway consolation try in the last minute, set up by a pass from Koroibete. https://twitter.com/StanSportRugby/status/1677725521629806592?s=20 The win was also a victory for South Africa's strength in depth ahead of its World Cup title defence. The Wallabies, meanwhile, must regroup for a clash with Argentina in Sydney on Saturday. "There were some positives - Carter Gordon came on and did some good stuff. Timmy (Horan) just said he should start next week and those conversations will take place," Hoiles said. https://twitter.com/StanSportRugby/status/1677725602844114945?s=20 "The fans will be out there saying 'oh, here we go again, another season.' But this is one of the most challenging places to win a game of rugby. "It might look like it's all doom and gloom. But I see a couple of changes to some personnel and tactics and a shift in mindset and a different team you're playing against.
