Smit wary of Wallabies

South Africa captain John Smit stopped short of claiming the underdog tag ahead of Sunday’s World Cup quarter-final but acknowledged Australia have had the upper hand over them in the past two years.

The Wallabies have won five of the last six Tests against the Springboks stretching back to September 2009 but Smit said his team would look at this weekend’s match in Wellington as a fresh start rather than dwell on past results.
