JOHANNESBURG: 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.
"It was the wrong call," Cheika said."The other guy should have been sent to the sin-bin. The fourth official focussed on the green player who came in with a shoulder charge. The Boks had built some momentum before that, so it would be a stretch to say it was the decisive moment of the match, but it certainly put the visitors further onto the back foot.Cheika believes his side will improve their efficiency in attack in the coming months and says there is a lot to build on from their Ellis Park display.
"But in that second half when we didn’t have a lot of the ball, we were just a bit loose with it when we did have it and that gave the momentum back to the other team."
