Springboks Make 10 Changes for Wallabies Test

Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus has announced 10 changes for the upcoming Rugby Championship Test against the Wallabies in Perth, with Morne van den Berg and Ruan Nortje set to make their Test debuts. Lock Salmaan Moerat will captain the team in place of Siya Kolisi, while Erasmus emphasizes the need to build squad depth ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup. The Springboks aim to test younger players against a competitive Australian side, following their decisive 33-7 victory in Brisbane. Erasmus is confident in his squad's ability to balance experience with youth, which will also prolong the careers of senior players. However, he stresses the importance of winning, despite the focus on player development. The Wallabies are expected to respond strongly after their recent loss, making the upcoming match a critical test for both teams.
