The Wallabies are hoping that lightning strikes the same spot twice as they look to get another win over the Springboks on Sunday.
Last week, the Wallabies stunned South Africa and the rugby world when they came back from a 22-0 deficit to win 38-22.
South Africa carries a seven-match home winning streak over Australia in Cape Town, though the Springboks have scored fewer than 30 points in each of those games.
The Springboks have often needed to rally late, coming from behind at halftime in two of their last four Tests at the venue.
The reigning world champions are trying to avoid consecutive losses for the first time since November 2022 and they have also not started a Rugby Championship with back-to-back defeats since 2015.
Despite the Round 1 setback, South Africa showed creativity, completing 14 offloads, their most in over a year.
Australia enters on a run of five wins in their last nine Tests, including two straight and a victory on Saturday would give the Wallabies consecutive Rugby Championship wins to start a campaign for only the third time.
Tom Wright impressed in Round 1, running a team-high 106 meters with a try and an assist, while Joseph Sua’ali’i has contributed a score or assist in three straight Tests.
The Wallabies will play South Africa at 3.10am Sunday while the All Blacks face Argentina at 9.10am Sunday.
