Two players will make their first appearances in the starting 15 when South Africa takes on Australia in a Rugby Championship test match in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.

Cheslin Kolbe and Sikhumbuzo Notshe will start on the wing and eighth man, respectively.

Kolbe replaces Jesse Kriel who moves to centre where he’ll partner with Andre Esterhuizen in midfield following injuries to Damian De Ellende and Lukhanyo Am.

In another change among the forwards, loose-head prop Beast Mtawarira returns to the starting 15 in a rotational switch with Steven Kitshoff.

Flank Marco van Staden, scrumhalf Embrose Papier and utility back Damian Willemse are amongst the replacements.
