South Africa 43-12 AustraliaFew positives for Jones in first match back in charge of Australia
Kurt-Lee Arendse scored a hat‑trick as a South Africa side missing several regulars made it an unhappy return for the Australia coach, Eddie Jones, as the Springboks eased to a comfortable Rugby Championship win.
The Boks were also awarded two penalty tries and got another from the flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit in a bonus-point victory. They dominated the aerial battle and had too much muscle and speed for the visitors, who have lost all seven of their visits to Pretoria.
