Australia and South Africa played out a hard fought 23-23 draw, as neither side could edge ahead as full time approached. The Wallabies had a ten point lead before the Springboks fought back, amidst a unique atmosphere in Perth, following the Western Force axing from Super Rugby.

    Rhule is going towards the ball, no? Shoulder to shoulder anyway and it seemed like a good call

    It looks more like they both went to shoulder each other out of the way but they both did it wrong and fell over each other.

    Yeah, if you watch the head-on angle here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViZgy7tF6Bg at 1:54, Green 14 clearly changes his line to make contact with Gold 7 off the ball. Should have been a penalty to Gold.

    Really weird that Hooper, who is normally one of the lippiest players on the pitch, didn't make more of it.

    Great vision by Beale.

    Not sure about Hooper - sorta did seem to be pushed, but I can see it was a tight call. Interested to hear what others think.
