Springbok coach Peter de Villiers made two changes, including naming Ruan Pienaar at fullback, to tackle the Wallabies in Saturday’s Mandela Trophy/Tri-Nations Test in Perth.
As expected Pienaar moves from the bench, where he started the previous Test against Australia at Newlands on August 8, to fullback in the place of Frans Steyn, who is amongst the replacements.
The other change sees Schalk Burger returning to the bench in the place of Danie Rossouw, who is recovering from an injury.
Scrumhalf Fourie du Preez will earn his 50th Test cap for South Africa on Saturday.
South Africa: 15 Ruan Pienaar, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Jaque Fourie, 12 Jean de Villiers, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Fourie du Preez, 8 Pierre Spies, 7 Juan Smith, 6 Heinrich Brüssow, 5 Victor Matfield, 4 Bakkies Botha, 3 John Smit (captain), 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 17 Jannie du Plessis, 18 Andries Bekker, 19 Schalk Burger, 20 Ricky Januarie, 21 Adi Jacobs, 22 Frans Steyn.
Date: Saturday, August 29
Venue: Subiaco Oval, Perth
Kick-off: 18.05 (10.05 GMT)
Referee: Bryce Lawrence (New Zealand)
Assistant referees: Chris Pollock (New Zealand), Vinny Munro (New Zealand)
TMO: Keith Brown (New Zealand)
@Supa Die Bloubul – i know mate , i also have heard sharks are trying to get him but who knows as i said
@Supa – Thanks. Thats one hell of a pity. Still it could have sent out the wrong message I suppose. Deon Stegamn has been scavenging pretty well for us. ( Still do not know how he gets a black eye after every game). The problem is that if Stegman is injured the Bulls do not have a another fetcher replacement – Currently his replacement would be Pedrie. Lot of good qualities Pedrie – but as far from a fetcher as you could possibly get.
OK terug na die soutmyne toe – goed gaan.
@Pietste –
Pietse. Jaques Burger has done quite well in the CC. He not a on form Stegmann, but he’s real test will come in the s14. I cant see Stegmann and Brussouw in the same team, they wil both want to start every game! Remebeber Potgieter played in Stegmann’s place in the s14 at 6. But I see him more a number 7 or 8
@Supa Die Bloubul –
Can you imagine this forward pack for the Sharks plus reserves, if he did go to sharks
1 beast
2 bismark
3 smitty
4 sykes
5 muller
6 brussow
7 deysel
8 kanko
reserve forwards
burden , hargreaves ,jannie dup , carstens ,botes , daniel, downey , albert, cilliers , 😯
Don’t get it. If Snorre is looking post FS and therefore picks RP at fullback, then why is he going with De Villiers at centre?
@sharky_forever –
Would be excellent. Only the Bulls would be able to beat the Sharks!
ADD to that the other forwad maybe’s going to sharks
alberts and mostert the lions lock
@sharky_forever –
@isigidi –
Good point.
@Supa Die Bloubul – luckily we allowed to disagree 😆

@sharky_forever –
Hello sharky.
You boys ready for Luke’s team?
Good luck heh, I have money on you guys.
@sharky_forever –
We beaten you twice to the trophy, cant see why we cant do it again! 😆
Bulls have a better draw next year. We’ve only lost Gerber and Habana. Im happy.
@grootblousmile –
Its only takes the bottom of the log Cheetahs to stop the Sharks momentum again 🙄
@Pietman – Luke is gonna kick some Kanko arse this weekend – not! 😀
@isigidi –
Hello Isi.
Yes, I am sure Lukas will receive a lekwar oldtime home coming in Durbs :-0
I hope he runs into Deysel and Burton the first time he takes the ball up…
@Pietman – Dit sal nooit gebeur nie Piet. Luke hang soos ‘n hommelby agter die dryfbewegings en dis al wanneer hy die bal dra.
@Pietman – Ek is seker ek sal. Het moeg geraak vir Voldy se stront
@grootblousmile – @isigidi – uhm kanko is not playing 😯 lol
