| MATCH NOTES Controversaly South Africa had left their top players at home to rest before the Rugby World Cup tournament. Larkham was playing his 100th test for Australia, the second player to do so. McMeniman had last played a test for Australia v Wales, November 2005, and Hardman v South Africa in 2002. Brothers Jannie and Bismark du Plessis were playing their first tests for South Africa as was Grant. Sources http://sport.independent.co.uk/rugby_union/article2747741.ece |
