Australia has 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.

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 are unbothered about the 62 000 seater capacity venue not selling out for the Boks vs Wallabies match.

The Springboks suffered a shock 38-22 defeat to the Wallabies in the Rugby Championship opener at Ellis Park on Saturday. After scoring three early tries and being 22-0 up after 20 minutes, the reigning champions conceded six tries and 38 unanswered points to go down to the Wallabies at the stadium for the first time since 1963.
