Australia toppled South Africa at Ellis Park for the first time in 62 years with a sensational 38-22 comeback win from 22-0 down in the Rugby Championship opener on Saturday. The Wallabies scored a remarkable six straight tries against the double world champion and Rugby Championship titleholder to earn one of their greatest wins in the professional era.

Wallabies fly-half James O'Connor has ranked his side's incredible comeback 38-22 victory over the Springboks at Ellis Park as the sweetest in his 17-year international career following his shock recall into the Australia setup.

Scenes of an “empty” Ellis Park Stadium have gone viral, upsetting many Springbok fans who have voiced their disappointment over pricey game tickets. However, SA Rugby bosses were unbothered about the 62 000 seater capacity venue not selling out for the Boks vs Wallabies match. South Africa lost to their rivals 38-22.
