Pollard shines as South Africa bounce back to beat Australia in Rugby Championship
South Africa bounced back from their shock loss to Australia in the Rugby Championship, defeating the Wallabies 30-22 in Cape Town. Fly-half Handré Pollard led the Springboks with a commanding performance, kicking 15 points and orchestrating a more pragmatic game plan compared to the previous week's expansive approach. South Africa scored three tries through winger Canan Moodie, No. 8 Kwagga Smith, and lock Eben Etzebeth, while Australia failed to repeat their surprise victory in Johannesburg. The win reignites the defending champions' title defense in the Rugby Championship.
