Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has named his team for Saturday's opening Rugby Championship encounter against Australia in Brisbane.
The two notable selections are Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu starting at flyhalf and Elrigh Louw at No 8, with both players earning their first starts in a Springbok jersey.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who has been in red-hot form off the bench for the Boks, is preferred to veteran Handre Pollard, who will provide backline cover off the bench. Louw starts at No 8 after four appearances off the bench since his debut at the start of the 2022 season.
