Australia’s women’s rugby side defeated South Africa 33-26 in Cape Town to set up a showdown with Scotland for the WXV2 title next week
Last-gasp heroics seal 33-26 win over South Africa in Cape TownThe Wallaroos have earned a pulsating 33-26 triumph over South Africa in Cape Town, as record-equalling Ash Marsters came up with a heroic last-ditch steal to put the Australian women’s side in sight of the WXV2 tournament title.
With the Springboks’ power-packed forwards camped on the Australian line and hunting a post-siren try that would almost certainly lead to a drawn match, Marsters somehow managed to hold firm under extreme pressure to get her hands on the ball for the decisive penalty.
Two more Wallaroo scores were disallowed before the break. One was through carelessness when Cecilia Smith dropped the ball over the line while finishing off a brilliant team move and the other, snaffled by Miller just before the break, was ruled out for an earlier knock-on.
