Wallabies Ready to Test Themselves Against the Best in Springboks Clash
Les Kiss has led Australia to three straight results as the Wallabies prepare to test their form against the world champions.
- On Sunday, the Australian Wallabies face world champions South Africa at Optus Stadium in Perth. Prop Taniela Tupou said the team is eager to test their progress against the 'gold standard' in rugby.
- Under new coach Les Kiss, the Wallabies have enjoyed a 'new manager bounce' with consecutive victories over Japan and an away win against Argentina. However, they now face the Springboks' formidable forward pack.
- Western Force back-rower Nick Champion de Crespigny replaced the injured Charlie Cale in the squad on Tuesday. Assistant coach Tom Donnelly emphasized the Springboks remain focused on dominating the scrum and maul.
- Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus confirmed his squad is tired following a gruelling four-Test series against New Zealand, admitting players might feel 'a little bit punch-drunk.' The world champions remain top-ranked despite this fatigue.
- Prop Taniela Tupou returns to French club Racing 92 next week, missing October's Bledisloe Cup Tests. With an eye on next year's World Cup, he aims to prove Australia is competitive against the best.
