The Best Photos From South Africa’s 44-31 Win Over Australia in the 2010 Tri Nations


New Zealand have already secured the 2010 Tri Nations Series title, but it doesn’t mean the games that are left to play have no meaning, especially when it comes to Rugby. South Africa showed superb resilience and belief, along some combative rugby, especially in the second half, notching their first win in this year’s tourney, beating Australia 44-31 despite a 14-0 start from the Wallabies. Here are the best moments caught by camera from the match at Loftus Versfeld, not too long ago a World Cup venue.
