THE Wallabies were too good for the Springboks on Saturday night in Brisbane with a convincing thirteen-point.<\/p>\n
In front of a 40,000 strong crowd, the Wallabies took a 30-17 victory overcame the world champions scoring four tries to one in a strong display.<\/p>\n
Young star Len Ikitau crossed over for a brace while winger Marika Koroibete scored two of his own.<\/p>\n
The victory marks the first time the Wallabies have won back-to-back games under Dave Rennie, with Saturday\u2019s performance following up last week\u2019s 28-26 win over the same opponent on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n
The head coach said he was glad his side took their opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to back up last week\u2019s performance with another strong performance and I thought we did that,\u201d Rennie told reporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe defended well, our defensive maul was much better, we just couldn\u2019t get our hands on the ball for the second 20 minutes of the game; we talked a lot about discipline.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I thought we were clinical and against New Zealand we created lots of opportunities, but we turned it over and were punished and tonight we were good enough to take those opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
The win moves the Wallabies to third in the world rankings, while also securing the side the Mandela Challenge Plate.<\/p>\n
