Wallabies lock Lukhan Salakaia-Loto insists South Africa's mass changes aren't a slap in the face for Australia ahead of Saturday night's Rugby Championship re-match in Perth.

The Springboks have freshened up their side with up to ten changes to their starting side that defeated the Wallabies in Brisbane.

Coach Rassie Erasmus insists there's no disrespect meant by the move, with lock Salakaia-Loto saying he and his Wallabies teammates don't have any issues with the selection overhaul.

He says it's no disrespect at all, as they still have 14 World Cup winners in their squad.

He adds the challenge for them is to come in and put in a much better performance than last week.

The Wallabies have lost Nick Frost and Jeremy Williams to concussion, while winger Filipo Daugunu is out indefinitely with a broken leg.

The Wallabies will face South Africa at 9.45pm in Perth, and the All Blacks will host Argentina at 7.05pm at Eden Park.
