The result shot the Wallabies up two spots to a three-year high of third in the world rankings - they were seventh this time last week - while the Springboks relinquished top spot to New Zealand, who beat Argentina in the later game in Brisbane.

Taniela Tupou showed his many talents as the Wallabies overcame a lopsided penalty count and another controversial yellow card to beat world champions South Africa for a second-straight weekend.

Australia were clinical early and rallied from behind late in a 10th-straight win at Suncorp Stadium, with winger Marika Koroibete and outside centre Len Ikitau both notching doubles in the 30-17 bonus-point victory.
