South Africa pounce on a loose ball and hold out long enough to kick the ball out after the hooter. What an intense first two Cup Quarter finals we have witnessed.

Seconds remaining in the half and Australia have a lineout inside the South African 22m area. Major pressure on the South Africans.

South Africa camp on the tryline for plenty of phases while Australia demonstrate how to defend your tryline. Eventually they cannot hold out any longer and Kok barges his way over the line to put South Africa back in the match.

A perfectly weighted kick by South Africa forces Australia to take the ball over their own tryline and dot it down. 5m scrum to South Africa.

South Africa show some fantastic hands to get Kwagga Smith within metres of the tryline, but a great try-saving tackle by Nick Malouf is rewarded with a penalty after he then gets his hands on the ball.

Both sides may just be disappointed with their performance in the first half, but perhaps South Africa even more so.

Australia are keen to slow the game down by using lineouts instead of taking penalties quickly.

South Africa have not been able to hold onto possession for the entire first half so far.

Australia are on the attack near the South African tryline. Great continuity is rewarded after Parahi receives a pass in contact and is able to get over in the corner for the first score of the match.

A bit of a stop/start beginning to the match.
