Elton Jantjies missed a last-minute penalty as South Africa and Australia drew 27-27 in Port Elizabeth, their second draw in this year’s Rugby Championship after a 23-23 stalemate in Perth on 9 September. Marika Koroibete, making his first start for the Wallabies, scored two tries but also gave away the penalty that might have led to his side’s defeat had Jantjies not squandered the chance. But Xolisi missed a tackle four minutes later as Foley, winning his 50th cap for the Wallabies, set up a debut try for Koroibete. Foley then again set up Koroibete for a third Wallabies try and the successful conversion from a difficult angle had the visitors three points ahead again. Poor handling cost South Africa chances in the final 15 minutes but Jantjies tied the score with a penalty after Australia’s winger Reece Hodge was penalised for holding on to the ball nine minutes from time.
