Pierre Spies, Francois Steyn and Conrad Jantjes all return to the Springbok team to face the Wallabies in Perth on Saturday. Schalk Brits takes over the hooking duties in place of the suspended Bismarck du Plessis.
Spies got the nod ahead of Joe van Niekerk who played in the previous two Vodacom Tri-Nations matches against the All Blacks. Newcomer Adriaan Strauss, who joined the squad on Tuesday as back-up hooker, was included as one of the replacements.
It has been reported that veteran Percy Montgomery has sadly been axed for the Test, but on his present form, the return of Jantjes at fullback is not entirely unexpected.
Chris Hewitt for SA Rugby said there were four changes from the side that defeated the All Blacks last week.
