80		And a foot in touch ends the game in Perth with Australia getting their Tri-Nations campaign off to a winning start! Was it down to fresh legs or have the Boks been beaten fair and square? It was a pulsating finish with New Zealand next up for Kiwi Deans' men! Thanks for joining us!
	79		BARNES DROP-GOAL! 16-9! SA look to work their way out of their 22 but are turned over by Waugh and co. Slow ball from here on in?! No, as it comes back to Barnes with a well-taken drop for a seven-point margin!
	78		The Boks go quickly from a Giteau touch-finding grubber and could be in trouble with Pietersen isolated on his goal-line! Australia turn it over and have possession inches from the whitewash - will they seal it here...no as Elsom loses the ball.
	76		Giteau fails to find touch though! But the Wallabies have try-scorer Tuqiri to thank for now as he commits to De Villiers with a big hit on halfway. This one is definitely going down to the wire!
	74		Much-needed changes for the tiring Wallabies as the Boks look very strong in these closing stages! They have it fifteen out from the opposition whitewash as the hosts' new men look to earn their post-game beer. That they do as SA hold on in contact!
	71		Four points separate these two here with Steyn kicking long to Tuqiri. However, the young centre is penalised for holding on with the visitors deep in their own territory. Not before a turnover sees 'the beast' fend off Moore and charge to halfway!
	68		STEYN PENALTY! 13-9! Habana is icing his left shoulder on the sidelines as Burgess waits to put-in five from his line. Giteau clears under serious pressure but Aus are penalised at the next play for pulling down Matfield at line-out time!
	66		The Boks are looking threatening with Habana waiting on the touchline! Jantjes hands it on to his speedster to crash over...TMO time...but he lose the ball before the whitewash! More changes for SA sees Botha, James and Habana depart!
	64		Finally, the series of kicks ends with Pietersen taken out by Giteau on halfway. SA know it's not the time for Steyn and look for position and an attacking platform!
	63		They look to go wide again with Jantjes felled by Cross in the end before a knock-on thwarts the Bok attack. Kicking duel begins...
	61		And the Wallabies earn themselves a free-kick for their defensive effort before Cross is rolled into touch. What a third quarter in Perth as Strauss throws outside his 22!
	59		Attacking scrum for SA with pretty much the whole of the left side of the pitch on offer! But Smith fumbles in midfield as he'd looked to have been put through a gap...Aus repel the world champions close to halfway.
	58		What a pulsating patch! Turnover ball for Aus saw Giteau and Cross busy down the right before Januarie snaffled and hacked long with Habana racing after. But Barnes got their first and made a b-line for touch fifteen from his own line!
	56		Another handling mistake from the Boks leaves a sour taste though as Burgess puts in 45-out. Smart rugby from Giteau on his home patch as he slides one through to the SA 22 to test out new man Strauss...he finds his man!
	54		JAMES PENALTY! 13-6! De Villiers makes a couple more changes now with Brits and Steenkamp pulled off slightly early. And SA have an immediate chance to wipe out that Giteau strike for hands in the ruck...James makes no mistake bang in front!
	52		GITEAU PENALTY! 13-3! Bad news on either side though as Mortlock also leaves the field looking very dazed for Cross! The replay shows a shoulder from lock Botha was the problem for the Aus skipper. The scrum is collapsed by SA for a chance to extend the lead...on-target this time!
	50		SA escape unscathed and could break here if they can find Habana wide right...they get the ball to him but that's a great three-tackle show from Hynes to force the fumble. Breathtaking rugby thus far as Burger departs for Kankowski!
	49		Barnes returns the restart long before SA think they're in through Pietersen...but he's called back for a Bok knock-on off Jantjes on halfway. Nightmare stuff for the wing now as he fumbles close to the Bok line...
	47		MORTLOCK TRY CONVERSION MISSED! 10-3! Mortlock calls for the scrum directly under the posts and packs the left channel! What will they throw at the Boks here? They go with the majority and it's the skipper who crashes over wide out thanks to good running lines from his backs! Great start to the second forty!
	44		Elsom loses the ball with De Villiers the man forcing the error before Steyn's clearance. But Aus are back in possession with G Smith leading the charge well five out...free-kick for the hosts!
	42		We’re underway again at Subiaco Oval as James kicks off to G Smith, who collects the dipping ball well! The Wallabies have possession on the opposition 22 as they look to strike early on! Barnes grubbers through behind the Boks before Habana carries the ball into touch...
	40		Holding on from the Boks 20-out foils the attack but not for long as Ashley-Cooper's returning kick flies straight out! But that's the end of the action with this low-scoring affair well-and-truly up for grabs! Not the best spectacle but tense all the same!
	38		James restarts to Hynes with Habana chasing hard, but the Wallaby man dummies down the short-side before being clipped into touch by Botha. Turnover ball for Aus though with SA seemingly starved of possession in the last five minutes! Not now though...penalty awarded ten inside their own half...Butch looks for a final position.
	36		TUQIRI TRY CONVERSION MISSED! 5-3! However, the Stormers and WP man has his resulting throw pinched at the front before Giteau sends a fine kick downfield for Aus ball. And the Wallabies are clinical with ball-in-hand along the line for the big wing to cross! Perth erupts!
	33		Not this time as G Smith chips into the in-goal to the grounding Januarie - Deans scratches his head. And SA look threatening here with Brits joining the line in the five-metre channel down the left before looking inside to Habana...but the rolling pass is called forward from the hooker!
	31		The Boks set it up from first-phase and here comes the second wave of Spies! However, he can't hold that one 20 out with the ball finding him on several occasions tonight. Even more welcoming sight for Aus as Jantjes slices to touch...first score coming?
	29		How costly could this Hollywood play from Australia be?! Tuqiri threw a dangerous overhead pass to his full-back 20 from his own line, but now before Ashley-Cooper spins and spills...chance SA!
	27		Hearts in the mouth time for the Wallabies as De Villiers breaks the line on halfway. It's handed on to Spies for the line but he's just hauled down before a Pietersen knock-on saves Aus! It looked like a Wallaby hand though...
	25		Great work at the breakdown again from the hosts forces a turnover following Mortlock's grubber. However, the SA tackles on halfway are forcing the errors as Tuqiri fumbles at the base! Superb hits coupled with an attack lacking ideas!
	22		Ashley-Cooper is penalised just inside his own half for going off his feet at ruck-time...another distance shot for the Shark...which he pushes right of the poles!
	20		SA are adjudged to have collapsed that scrum as Barnes pushes the Wallabies down to the opposition 22. What can they muster? Nothing at all as a handling error precedes an awful drop-goal shot from Barnes!
	18		Nice set-move from the Boks off the line-out sees Habana spill possession after an excellent inside ball! The Wallabies are contesting well on the ground so far as blood drips down the face of Elsom...scrum SA on halfway.
	15		Yes they can with Tuqiri breaking the line as he continues his impressive start! However, the turnover comes deep in SA territory and Pietersen hacks long with no one at home for Aus...Hynes gathers under pressure and the hosts are lucky to get away unscathed!
	13		The big figure of Spies returns with interest and slips the first tackle 45 out! Smith needs to give it to Habana down the left...but he's met very well by Barnes who forces the fumble! Can the Wallabies break from here...?
	10		James doesn't look for touch though, which leads to a kicking duel ending in Barnes sliding one to touch 40 out from the SA line. Better attacking ball for the Boks before Steyn has a shot from 50...well wide!
	8		Moore throws short on halfway before Giteau sends one up into the Perth sky. But Mortlock knocks-on in his contest with Habana and SA have the perfect platform to look for territory...which James attempts.
	6		STEYN PENALTY! 0-3! SA kick into the in-goal area which ultimately leads to Barnes restarting long from his 22. And a penalty comes for the visitors for an infringement on the ground and here's the man with the big boot...wow!
	4		However, after several phases from the hosts, Ashley-Cooper fumbles in front of the imposing Burger! The Boks clear through James before the Aus full-back hoists a tester..taken well by Januarie.
	2		Here we go then! Berrick Barnes starts the game with a deep kick-off to Matfield who is met firmly in contact. Januarie tries one of those chips from last week in a dangerous position...but Aus open the stronger with a scrum 25 out.
	0		Welcome to Perth for Round Three of Tri-Nations 2008! The accustomed fiery build-up of recent weeks has been found wanting post Dunedin as Australia and South Africa quietly ready themselves for this vital clash. Victory for the fresh Wallabies would certainly even things up at the top of the table! Whereas consecutive steals away from home for the Boks hands them the initiative going into their two-week rest period! Who will be smiling at the final whistle? Enjoy!
