| Springboks head Tri-Nations table |
10 August: World champions South Africa are on course for the Tri-Nations title. On Saturday they came from behind to overcome Australia 29-17 in Cape Town. That makes it three wins out of three for the Springboks and although all their matches so far have been at home they have established themselves at the top of the table and will be hard to shift. Morne Steyn kicked 24 points - seven penalties and a drop goal - bringing his tally to 55 points in two matches after scoring all 31 points in a record-breaking effort against New Zealand a week earlier. The Spingboks now head to Australia and New Zealand for their final three matches, the first of which sees them in action against Australia on 29th August.
