Preview: Springboks v Wallabies

Preview: Springboks v Wallabies

09/02/2010 03:26:52 AM

Matfield's 100th Test and the desire to snap their losing streak kept the Springboks going in Pretoria, we expect the hosts to run out of gas in Bloemfontein in what will be their third Test in as many weeks. Look for a better overall performance from the Wallabies forwards, who were well below their best as a unit last week, while a repeat performance from the backline will almost certainly lead to an historic Wallabies win. Wallabies by five.

TEAMS:
Wallabies: 15. Kurtley Beale, 14. James O'Connor, 13. Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12. Matt Giteau, 11. Drew Mitchell, 10. Quade Cooper, 9. Will Genia, 8. Ben McCalman, 7. David Pocock, 6. Rocky Elsom, 5. Nathan Sharpe, 4. Mark Chisolm, 3. Salesi Ma'afu, 2. Stephen Moore, 1. Benn Robinson.
Reserves: 16. Saia Faingaa, 17. James Slipper, 18. Dean Mumm, 19. Richard Brown, 20. Luke Burgess, 21. Berrick Barnes, 22. Anthony Faingaa.

Springboks: 15.Francois Steyn, 14. JP Pietersen, 13. Jaque Fourie, 12. Jean de Villiers, 11. Bryan Habana, 10. Morne Steyn, 9. Francois Hougaard, 8. Pierre Spies, 7. Juan Smith, 6. Schalk Burger, 5. Victor Matfield, 4. Danie Rossouw, 3. Jannie du Plessis, 2.John Smit (c), 1. Gurthro Steenkamp.

Reserves: 16. Chiliboy Ralepelle, 17. CJ van der Linde, 18. Flip van der Merwe, 19. Ryan Kankowski, 20. Ricky Januarie, 21. Juan de Jongh, 22. Gio Aplon.
