Michael Cheika has once again tweaked the Wallabies back‑row, dropping Scott Fardy for Dean Mumm at blindside breakaway for his side's clash against South Africa in Brisbane on Saturday.

Cheika has opted for Melbourne Rebels utility back Reece Hodge over 70‑Test veteran Drew Mitchell on the wing after an impressive debut off the bench in Wellington late last month.

Quade Cooper will once again start at flyhalf while Bernard Foley will be at inside centre and Samu Kerevi at outside centre.

It is the first time this year the Wallabies have picked the same lock combination in back‑to‑back tests.

The Wallabies will play South Africa at 10.05pm this Saturday while the All Blacks will play Argentina at 7.35pm.
