Rugby Rivals - Sir John Kirwan & Victor Matfield

South Africa Shocked By 11-Man Wallabies... What Went Wrong?

Episode Description from the Publisher

Australia led the world champions 42–17 with 15 minutes to go. Then four yellow cards, a penalty try and a Springbok scrum onslaught turned Perth into chaos - and the Wallabies held on with 11 men. Springbok great Victor Matfield and All Blacks legend Sir John Kirwan break down one of the wildest finishes in Test rugby: how the Wallabies built a 25-point lead, how the Boks clawed back through the scrum, and whether the result says more about Les Kiss's Wallabies or a Springbok side that got caught out. Thank you RAM Hand-to-Hand Couriers and Klipdrift Premium for supporting the show.
