Duane Vermeulen and Joseph Dweba have been retained to face Australia on Saturday as Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber attempts to nurture them back to form for the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Dweba and Vermeulen, who were both hooked early in the defeat by the All Blacks at Ellis Park, have retained their starting spots for the Boks’ Rugby Championship clash with Australia in Adelaide on Saturday.

“With Franco [Mostert] and Kwagga [Smith] on the bench, we will have cover at lock and loose forward, while Frans Steyn’s versatility will also be handy as he can cover centre and fullback. These changes obviously mean that Willie [le Roux], Jasper [Wiese] and Herschel [Jantjies] lose out, but we know what we have in them and what they bring to the team.”Nienaber expected a big onslaught from the Wallabies, who will be equally determined to bounce back from their defeat by Argentina.
