A late converted try from Rob Horne saw the Wallabies score their first win of the Rugby Championship as they came from behind to beat South Africa 24-23 at Patersons Stadium in Perth.
It went right down to the wire as the Boks, who had led for 38 minutes of the second-half were left to lick their wounds ahead of facing New Zealand.

NSW Waratahs winger Rob Horne has accepted the challenge of stopping Brumbies flyer Henry Speight in the Super Rugby semi-final in Sydney on Saturday night and has invited the ACT side to continue playing expansively.
Speight was sensational in the Brumbies’ 32-30 win against the Chiefs in the qualifying final in Canberra last Saturday night and looms as a major threat to the Waratahs.
While Horne normally defends in the midfield for the Waratahs, he is expected to stay on his wing to try to contain Speight.
