Rugby Championship: Coach Jacques Nienaber Tweaks Springbok Squad for Important Australia Test

• South Africa's starting line-up for the Rugby Championship's Round 3 encounter against Australia has been named
• The Springboks are coming off a wounding defeat against the All Blacks, and a victory against the Wallabies will do
• However, they have a dreadful record in the Land Down Under, having last won there in 2013

Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has handed Warrick Gelant a start on the right wing and recalled scrumhalf Faf de Klerk as the only two changes to his starting team for their Castle Lager Rugby Championship tour match against Australia in Adelaide on Saturday.

Gelant takes over from Jesse Kriel on the wing, while De Klerk has completed his return to play protocol after missing the second test against New Zealand due to concussion and slots in for Jaden Hendrikse.

Nienaber also made three changes to the replacements bench, which features a split of five forwards and three backs, where Hendrikse takes over from Herschel Jantjies, while Elton Jantjies will provide flyhalf cover and Frans Steyn additional cover at the back. Willie le Roux and Jasper Wiese are not in the match-23 this weekend.

Springboks given more to cry about after video of disallowed Lukhanyo Am try against All Blacks emerges

If you are a Springbok supporter trying to forget Saturday's stinging 35-23 loss to a resilient All Blacks side in the Rugby Championship, there is another bitter to swallow, unfortunately.

As reported by Sports Brief, South Africa lost a match in which many wounds were self-inflicted, some were through slick Kiwi magic, while others were either fairly or unfairly attributed to referee Luke Pearce, who handled an epic excellently regardless of any error he might have made.

One such has been dissected on YouTube by a channel called TASanalytics, where a legitimate Lukhanyo Am was disallowed following a "knock-on" by prop Ox Nche from a Kiwi tackle effected by Sam Whitelock.
