Wallabies smash Boks at spiritual home

The Wallabies again showed why they regard Suncorp Stadium as their spiritual home when they produced yet another spectacular Brisbane performance to blow away the Springboks, according to the Sydney Morning Herald's Greg Growden.

"Elsewhere the Wallabies flounder. But not here. They produced one of their best efforts for some time, outmuscling, outrunning and out-defending the Tri Nations holders for a victory that had its dramas, especially when the Springboks had a revival with two late tries.

"It was a mighty team triumph, highlighted by outstanding individual performances, particularly from captain Rocky Elsom and openside David Pocock, who completely out-enthused their opponents.

"...The frustrated Springboks correctly identified Pocock's try-saver on Bryan Habana and then follow-up ruck penalty on his line as a massive turning point in the match."
