JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Australia coach Michael Cheika took positives from his side's 35-17 Rugby Championship loss to South Africa at Ellis Park on Saturday, but was left to rue a yellow card for prop Taniela Tupou that he believes was a game-changer.
Cheika wants his side to play more with the ball in hand going into the Rugby World Cup in Japan, and at times they cut the Springbok defence apart with some incisive attack, but did not have the quality in the finish to punish the home side.
