World champions South Africa continued their flawless start to the Rugby Championship, grinding out a 30-12 win over Australia amidst challenging, rainy conditions at Perth Stadium on Saturday.

Key contributors to the South African side included Aphelele Fassi and Marco van Staden, who each scored tries, along with Malcolm Marx who crossed twice in the second half. This win follows their impressive victory over the Wallabies the previous weekend.

Australia showed a marked improvement in physical play compared to their performance in Brisbane but failed to threaten South Africa's try line, relying solely on four penalties from flyhalf Noah Lolesio. Up next, South Africa will face the All Blacks in consecutive home matches while Australia heads to Argentina for their next games in the southern hemisphere test championship.
