Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has made only three changes to his match-day squad for the Rugby Championship clash against Australia in Brisbane on Saturday.
Nienaber opted for continuity as the Boks aim to immediately bounce back from the weekend’s disappointing defeat to the Wallabies.
Nyakane, who boasts 48 Test caps, and Orie, who last ran out for the Springboks in the second Test against Argentina in Nelson Mandela Bay, will be looking to make their presence felt in a game where set pieces and contact points are expected to be crucial. “This is an experienced group of players who know what it takes to deliver under pressure, and we all know what we need to do to bounce back from last week’s defeat,” Nienaber said.
“Marvin has also been in our system for a while. He has been working hard at training, and this will be another great opportunity for him.
