South Africa vs Australia preview
Loftus Versfeld Stadium holds nothing but bad memories for Wallabies supporters, so the fact that even some of them believe that they can get something from their trip to Pretoria this weekend shows the transformative effect the second coming of Eddie Jones has already had on Australia rugby.
The man who led them to a Tri-Nations title and the World Cup final in his first stint in charge tends to make his mark early doors, and he'll be licking his lips at the prospect of being the man to mastermind the destruction of the infamous 60-year Pretoria hoodoo.
Jacques Nienaber has tempted fate by opting to send the heaviest of his heavy artillery to New Zealand to start preparing for next weekend's clash. Duane Vermeulen has been charged with captaining a side missing World Cup winners Eben Etzebeth, Faf de Klerk, Cheslin Kolbe, Makazole Mapimpi and several other key personnel. Even Siya Kolisi, who's unlikely to play again this year, has been sent away with the A team.
With Handre Pollard sidelined and Damian Willemse still working his way back to full fitness, the Proteas are set to line up with Manie Libbok at flyhalf. The 25-year-old Stormers man has never started an international game before and, if this goes badly, the opportunity might not arise again.
It's the 2023 TRC opener, and here's how to watch a free South Africa vs Australia live stream wherever you are.
