Springboks team named to face Wallabies

Pat Lambie, Morne Steyn and Rudy Paige will all start for the Springboks when they take on Australia at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday.

The inclusion of Paige at scrum‑half is one of three changes made to the Springbok line‑up that started the match against the All Blacks two weeks ago in Christchurch.

Paige, who has made four Test appearances from the Bok bench, will partner the experienced Morné Steyn in the halfbacks.

The only other change to the starting line‑up sees Pat Lambie return to the team for the first time since he suffered concussion in the series opener against Ireland in June.

Lambie will play fullback.

The Pumas will host the All Blacks at 10.10am Sunday while the Springboks will host the Wallabies at 3.05am.
