:South Africa have made two changes to their starting line-up for the Rugby Championship clash with Australia at Adelaide Oval on Saturday as coach Jacques Nienaber also cut a member from their famous ‘Bomb Squad’ on the bench.
Injuries to backline players early in their recent tests forced a change of thinking on the bench, with Nienaber moving away from the 6-2 split between forwards and backs to a more conventional 5-3. "We looked at what Australia will bring to the game, and that combined with our need to give Elton and Frans Steyn some vital game time, prompted us to select five forwards and three backs on the bench," Nienaber said in a media release from South African Rugby.
"We also feel it is important to give the likes of Ox, Joseph and Duane another opportunity to further build combinations and give them valuable game time as we build toward the Rugby World Cup next year."
