Australia clings to win over South Africa despite four yellow cards

Australia overcame South Africa 42-38 in a Test match in Perth, despite being reduced to 11 players late in the game. The Wallabies led by 25 points with 16 minutes remaining before a series of yellow cards allowed the Springboks to mount a late comeback. Australia scored five tries, with Len Ikitau contributing two. South Africa made extensive changes after a prior match against New Zealand, yet still posed a strong challenge. This victory serves as a boost for Australia ahead of their opening World Cup match against Hong Kong next year.
