The Springboks take on Australia in a one-off Test at Optus Stadium in Perth on Sunday, with Rassie Erasmus using the fixture to test the depth of his squad.
South Africa head into the clash after an impressive 43-28 victory over New Zealand in Baltimore, but Erasmus has made 13 changes to the starting XV for the encounter with the Wallabies.
Only lock Eben Etzebeth and wing Ethan Hooker retain their places in the starting team from the victory over the All Blacks.
The significant changes provide several players with an opportunity to make their mark as the Springboks continue building towards their end-of-year campaign.
Assistant coach Mzwandile Stick said the match gives players who have been waiting for an opportunity a chance to show what they can offer.
Among those returning to the starting lineup are Canan Moodie and Handre Pollard, while scrumhalf Herschel Jantjies is also set to feature after limited game time this season.
Stick highlighted the importance of continuing to build depth across the squad, particularly after the intense four-match Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series against New Zealand.
The Springboks treated the All Blacks series as a major priority, but the clash with Australia provides an opportunity to assess more players ahead of future international assignments.
