Wallabies vs Springboks live updates: Suaalii wreaking havoc as Aussies hold shock lead

Taniela Tupou is on for Allan Alaalatoa as the Wallabies tighthead prop.

It is for an HIA.

No bomb squad yet as the second half kicks off with the same players on the park.

It won’t be long until Rassie Erasmus detonates, but Michael Hooper likes the look of the Wallabies’ bench as well.

Les Kiss has six reserve forwards to call upon.

Referee Andre Piardi blows the whistle for halftime as the Wallabies take a 24-17 lead into the sheds.

A wonderful start but the Springboks have an incredibly powerful bench lurking.

Ben Donaldson fires the Wallabies back into the lead on the brink of halftime!

Really well worked by the home side and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii throws the final pass to put the No.10 over in the left corner.

Australia lead 24-17 after 39 minutes.

Ethan Hooker has been penalised for this head-on-head contact on Ben Donaldson.

It’s still 17-17 after 37 minutes.

Chaos in Perth as the Springboks strike back immediately!

It’s brilliant hands from the world champions as Handre Pollard, Canan Moodie and Aphelele Fassi put Edwill van der Merwe in space out wide on the right.

The winger is over, and it’s 17-17 after half an hour.

Thrilling stuff.

Len Ikitau has a quickfire double and the Wallabies lead!

Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii jumped high to contest a Ryan Lonergan box kick and the Springboks were unable to deal with it.

Ikitau picked up the scraps and just like that Australia lead 17-10 after 27 minutes.

Wow!
