[jiggs]

No reason why Boks should not win this.

[Angelshark]

No reason why Boks should not win this.

Right in there with you Jiggs, They will be keeping the same starting line up so that will at least put the shits in the Aussies, will be a good game I am sure.

[biffon]

looking forward to this...
The beauty about Rugby at this level is that every team has a different dynamic, and either can easily win on the day if they get their game on.
No reason why the Bok's cant win this but then again the Aussies have nothing to lose by winning either..

bring on Saturday Night!!

Australia have resisted the temptation to wield the axe after last month's loss to New Zealand by choosing an unchanged starting team for Saturday's Tri-Nations match with South Africa in Cape Town.

Australia's selectors kept faith in the same starting side that lost 22-16 to the All Blacks in Auckland but did make one unforced change to the replacements.
Reserve flanker Phil Waugh was left out of the 22-man squad and replaced by utility back Peter Hynes to give the Wallabies a more conventional bench of four forwards and three backs. Australia team: 15-Adam Ashley-Cooper, 14-Lachie Turner, 13-Stirling Mortlock (captain), 12-Berrick Barnes, 11-Drew Mitchell, 10-Matt Giteau, 9-Luke Burgess, 8-Wycliff Palu, 7-George Smith, 6-Richard Brown, 5-Nathan Sharpe, 4-James Horwill, 3-Al Baxter, 2-Stephen Moore, 1-Benn Robinson Replacements: 16-Tatafu Polota-Nau, 17-Ben Alexander, 18-Dean Mumm, 19-David Pocock, 20-Will Genia, 21-Peter Hynes, 22-James O'Connor

http://images.supersport.co.za/DevilliersPeter090602TrainingGbg.jpgPeter de Villiers © Gallo ImagesSpringbok coach Peter de Villiers on Tuesday announced an unchanged starting team to face the Wallabies in a Tri-Nations test at Newlands on Saturday.

The Bok coach kept intact the team that beat the All Blacks by 31-19 in Durban last weekend to win their second consecutive Vodacom Tri-Nations test against New Zealand.
The only change to the Springbok team is on the bench, where fit-again Ruan Pienaar takes the place of Wynand Olivier.
Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha will play together as a lock-pairing for the 50th time in a Test for the Springboks. Matfield will play in his 86th test and Botha in his 60th.
Jean de Villiers, who played in his 50th test last weekend, will on Saturday surpass De Wet Barry’s record for the most capped Springbok centre of all time, when he will run out in the midfield for the 40th time. He played on the wing and as a replacement in his 11 other tests.
The Springbok team is (Test caps in brackets):
15. Frans Steyn (32)
14. JP Pietersen (28)
13. Jaque Fourie (47)
