There's only one way to find out. Australia pulled off the most stunning result of the year last week, coming back from 22-0 down – they'd touched the ball twice when the Springboks scored their first try, and one of those was the kick-off – to win the Rugby Championship 2025 opener 22-38, not just on South African soil but at altitude too. The back-to-back world champions are wounded, and Rassie Erasmus hasn't held back. He's gutted the team that started last week, making 10 changes. While Siya Kolisi and Pieter-Steph du Toit are out through injury, the great Eben Etzebeth will be watching from the Cape Town Stadium dugout. Handre Pollard coming in for Manie Libbok shows what the Springboks' priority is now. Rob Valetini's return is huge for the Wallabies, and timely too, with two-try captain Harry Wilson sidelined through injury. Wing Dylan Pietsch is out of action too, but there's a buzz around Joe Schmidt handing Corey Toole his long-awaited international debut.
