Springboks make 10 changes for second Test against Australia
Gulf Today
|August 20, 2025
South Africa have made IO changes to their starting XV for the second Rugby Championship test against Australia in Cape Town on Saturday as coach Rassie Erasmus wields the axe following a shock 38-22 loss to the tourists in Johannesburg last weekend.
-
Erasmus was left fuming by the manner of his side’s capitulation at Ellis Park, as Australia scored 38 unanswered points after the Springboks had raced into a 22-0 lead, but fell apart in the second half.
Only centre Jesse Kriel, scrumhalf Grant Williams, loose forward Marco van Staden, hooker Malcolm Marx and prop Ox Nche keep their places.
The Springboks have lost four players to injury from that test, including captain Siya Kolisi (knee) and Pieter-Steph du Toit (concussion), who would likely have started again.
Handre Pollard is back at flyhalf to provide a steadying hand, while Damian de Allende returns at inside centre to partner Kriel.
