The Boks will be going all out to make up for the previous week's 38-22 defeat by the Australians.
The Springboks have for the second week running been forced to make a change to their team just a day before a Test, against the Wallabies in Cape Town on Saturday.
Veteran fullback Willie le Roux was originally picked to start in Cape Town in the second Rugby Championship Test of the season, against Australia, but was withdrawn from the side on Friday.
Le Roux, who recently became South African rugby’s latest Test centurion, picked up a niggle in training this week and team management opted to not risk him.
Aphelele Fassi, who started the first Test of the competition in Joburg a week ago, takes over at fullback.
The Boks were forced to replace loosehead prop Jan-Hendrik Wessels last week after he incurred a knock in training. His place was taken by Boan Venter, who has retained his spot among the replacements this week.
The Boks will look to bounce back from their 38-22 defeat by the Wallabies in Joburg last weekend.
