South Africa will be looking to continue where they left off against New Zealand when they host Australia in Port Elizabeth on Sunday.

A fortnight ago, South Africa achieved the unthinkable by beating the All Blacks on New Zealand soil – a result which has brought renewed energy into the Springbok camp and they will be brimming with confidence as they head into this Test.

The Wallabies, by contrast, are on the back foot after suffering their first defeat to Argentina in Australia in 35 years in their most recent outing.

A Springbok victory this weekend at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium – which is a happy hunting ground for the Boks as they are unbeaten in five previous matches at the venue.

Australia will take on South Africa at 3.05am Sunday and Argentina will host the All Blacks at 10.40am this Sunday in the Rugby Championship.
