Australia snapped their six game losing streak this morning as Bernard Foley inspired the Wallabies to a 23-17 victory over South Africa in Brisbane.
Waratahs fly-half Foley started the game in the 12 jersey for Australia, with Quade Cooper in the first receiver position, and the inside centre finished the game with 18 points after an impressive performance.
Despite falling behind to first-half tries from Warren Whitely and Johan Goosen, the Wallabies showed their mettle to bring the arrears to 14-13 at the break thanks to an Adam Coleman try.
Momentum began to swing in the home side's favour after the restart, with Springbok lock Eben Etzbeth sent to the bin for 10 minutes before Foley scored the crucial try to give Australia their first points of the tournament.
