With a revamped XV, South Africa avoided a third consecutive loss in the Rugby Championship, Saturday in Sydney during the 4th day, by overcoming Australia (24-8), who had beaten it last Saturday (25-17).
The Springboks climb to second place in the standings behind New Zealand, tied with the Wallabies (1-1 in the confrontation).
They have a balanced record of two wins and two losses after four games.
With eight changes from the XV defeated last Saturday, the South African world champions largely dominated the meeting and inflicted four tries on the Australians, synonymous with an offensive bonus.
