The only thing Australians love more than an underdog is a comeback and the Wallabies treated the public to both tonight. We’ll do it all again on Saturday, when the Wallabies face the Springboks at Suncorp Stadium. Q uade Cooper had a perfect night with the boot and kicked Australia to victory with a penalty goal after the full-time siren to complete a 28-26 upset over World Cup champions South Africa on Sunday. Cooper was a surprising selection to face the Springboks for his first Test since 2017 after Australia were swept by New Zealand in the Bledisloe Cup, which also counted as the first two games of the Rugby Championship. Time is up and Australia have snatched victory by 28-26 with Cooper kicking the match-winning penalty goal after the hooter. Well done to the @wallabies on a great win – we go agai...
