Match report
I’m sorry folks. I can’t find any reaction from the players or coaches.
Maybe that’ll be a relief to Springboks fans. Those in the ground looked shell shocked. They saw their team take a 22-0 lead on 18 minutes and, like me, must have expected a romp.
They got one alright, just not the sort that was promised on the tin.
Australia were brilliant. Totally and utterly brilliant. They deserve to celebrate long into the night having secure victory in Johannesburg for the first time in the professional era.
Where do the Boks go from here? We’ll find out next week if they’ve righted the many wrongs as the two teams once again square up in Cape Town.
I’ll be there to call it live. Hope you’ll join me.
Here’s the match report from the wire. Keep an eye out for some analysis from yours truly.
See you next week!
The live feed from Sky has just cut out.
I’ll try get some reaction quotes from the players elsewhere before I close shop.
If you’ve got any thoughts on this stunning upset I’d love to read them.
