South Africa overcame a controversial first-half red card for a second week in a row as the Springboks beat Italy in Turin.
Seven days on from Lood de Jager’s sending off against France in Paris, fellow lock Franco Mostert was dismissed in the first half after he was deemed to have made an illegal tackle on Italy fly half Paolo Garbisi. But just as in that France clash, the world champions showed their strength, with Rassie Erasmus ringing the changes before the interval as his side powered home.
