World champions South Africa have backed themselves to make amends for last weekend's after-the-siren loss to Australia, making minimal changes for their rematch in Brisbane on Saturday. Matt Roberts/Getty Images Handré Pollard will start at No 10 for South Africa in their rematch against Australia. "Australia were desperate to win last week and it showed in the way they played," coach Jacques Nienaber said. After the rematch with the Wallabies, the Springboks play two tests against the All Blacks on successive Saturdays in the final rounds of the Rugby Championship. The All Blacks have not played South Africa since their opening match of the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, which they won 23-13 in Yokohoma.
