Rugby Championship 2012: South Africa team to face Australia
Heyneke Meyer has made several changes to his line-up to take on Australia this weekend.
Duane Vermeulen makes his debut for the Springboks, with Willem Alberts moving to the flank. Francois Hougaard is also shifted, to the wing from scrum-half and Ruan Pienaar starts at 9.
Will this side have enough to see off the Wallabies in Perth?
