LIVE UPDATES: Wallabies v Springboks in Perth
Here is The Citizen's live coverage of the one-off Test between the Wallabies and Springboks in Perth on Sunday.
The Australian national rugby union team, known as the Wallabies, will face off against the visiting South African national side, the Springboks, in a one-off Test match in Perth on Sunday. The kick-off for the encounter is scheduled for 11:45am local time.
Prior to this game, the Springboks have been enjoying a strong run, having claimed a 3-1 series victory over New Zealand's All Blacks. In contrast, the Wallabies have started their campaign under new coach Les Kiss with two wins – one against Japan and another against Argentina. However, the Springboks have undergone significant changes since their last Test in Baltimore, with only Ethan Hooker and Eben Etzebeth remaining from the starting lineup.
After this Test, the Springboks will take a break before resuming international play in Europe in November for the Nations Championship. Meanwhile, the Wallabies have their sights set on facing the All Blacks in a Bledisloe Cup clash, which will take place both at home and away.
