    A selection crossroads for Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus after the Wallabies exposed weaknesses in his side during the opening round of the Rugby Championship

    A selection crossroads for Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus after the Wallabies exposed weaknesses in his side during the opening round of the Rugby Championship


    He's made 10 changes to the starting XV that lost at Johannesburg for Sunday's re-match at Cape Town.

    South Africa have a 43-strong squad for the competition, but Erasmus has made a wry observation on those circumstances.



    Centre Jesse Kriel will captain the side in injured loose forward Siya Kolisi's absence.
