In the third round of matches in the Rugby Championship this season, the Wallabies will take against the Springboks in Adelaide.

The Springboks defeated and then lost to the All Blacks at home, while Australia defeated and then lost to Argentina abroad. As of this writing, both sides had a “win one, lost one” record.

In Australia, the Springboks have a dismal record against the Wallabies, having won only 12 of the 41 Tests that have been played (29%) and not having achieved victory since 2013.

Late on Monday night, coach Jacques Nienaber startled everyone by announcing his team (Australian time).

Later this week, the Wallabies will announce their lineup, and kickoff at Adelaide Oval is set for 07:30. (SA time).

The following weekend, the teams would square off once again at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium.
