  "account": "Australia's Wallabies, wearing down Springboks in a tight finish, secured a 42-38 victory in Perth on Sunday. The Springboks came close to pulling off an improbable win, scoring 21 points in a frenzied final 10 minutes. However, Australia's disciplinary issues and poor decision-making ultimately led to their defeat. The match was marred by a series of yellow cards, with Wallabies captain Harry Wilson receiving the first card in the 69th minute for a high tackle on Malcolm Marx. The brawl continued, with Ryan Lonergan and Joseph-Aukuso Sua'ali'i soon joining Wilson in the sin bin. Despite these indiscretions, Australia managed to maintain their advantage, but ultimately fell short in the face of a typically stubborn Springbok defense.",
  "summary": "The Wallabies survived four yellow cards to beat the Springboks 42-38 (halftime 24-17) in Perth on Sunday.",
