utilise the extra man and it was Fourie who found redemption with a try in the 62nd minute.
The dominant field position continued to come for the Springboks and when Gurthro Steenkamp barged over for their second soon after, the visitors may have been sniffing a miracle escape.
But Cooper's return to the field saw the Australians regain the momentum, and Genia eventually sealed the contest when he was rewarded for a strong showing with a try from a clever dash close close to the South African line.
Man of the match: David Pocock (Australia).
