Dave Rennie’s men face a huge task against a South Africa team featuring some world-leading players.
The Wallabies captain is one of the most reliable players in the country, and the all-Brumbies front row should be able to withstand the Boks’ early scrum heat.3. Allan Ala’alatoa.
A straightforward choice at tight-head as Taniela Tupou battles for form. Has a big job on defence when the Boks forwards start coming around the corner to bash their way to the try line.4. Rory Arnold. Yet to really dominate at Test level and Adelaide would be a good place to start. More is expected from the big second-rower.Confrontational nature of the Test should suit the Rebels second-rower, who would have noted the Springboks’ lineout issues against the All Blacks in Johannesburg .Looks set to be part of a “mirror defence” strategy at lineout time, shutting down the option to Pieter-Steph du Toit. Yet to impose himself and needs a big game in coming weeks.
Big burden on the Brumby to carry the fight to the Springboks, with his back-row comrades very inexperienced at Test level. Tends to rise to the occasion, though.Niggle between White and Faf de Klerk could reach world-record levels. All Blacks attacked the Boks No.9 with success, inducing fatigue. Koroibete must get on his shoulder.Must mix up his game and be prepared to play deep to counter the Boks’ rush defence. Crossfield kick can be a weapon.
