Man-of-the-Match in the Wallabies' sole win against the British & Irish Lions, loose forward Tom Hooper said that if he is selected, he is eager to take on Pieter-Steph du Toit in their first Rugby Championship match against the Springboks on Saturday.

- Nicholas Zaal

Bok coach Rassie Erasmus named his team for the game on Monday, with Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt set to make his announcement tomorrow.

Du Toit will start at blindside flanker for the Boks at Ellis Park, where the Wallabies have not won since 1963.

His opposite could be Wallabies rising star Hooper, who completed 18 carries, 34 post-contact metres, one turnover and eight tackles in his Man-of-the-Match performance during their 22-12 win over the Lions in Sydney.
