Len running show for Oz

-

AUSTRALIA revitalise­d their Rugby Championsh­ip campaign with a 30-17 win over South Africa yesterday.

Having upset the Springboks 28-26 on the Gold Coast on Sunday with a Quade Cooper penalty after the siren, the Wallabies’ running game shone in Brisbane’s Lang Park twilight as centre Len Ikitau (right) and winger Marika Koroibete each scored two tries.

South Africa managed one try, through Lukhanyo Am, but drew a flat performanc­e before they head into back-to-back Tests against New Zealand.

Australia coach Dave Rennie said: “I’m proud of our guys because we wanted to back up last week’s performanc­e.”
