Rugby-Springboks romp to 33-7 win in Australia in Rugby Championship opener


(Reuters) - Winger Kurt-Lee Arendse scored two tries as South Africa matched their biggest ever win over the Wallabies on Australian soil with a 33-7 victory over their error-strewn hosts in the Rugby Championship opener in Brisbane on Saturday.

The world champions have added New Zealand attack coach Tony Brown to their technical team in a bid to instil a more ball-in-hand style and it was on full display as they ran in five tries with Siya Kolisi, Pieter-Steph du Toit and Kwagga Smith also crossing for scores.
