Lood de Jager has to yield to concussion, while Trevor Nyakane returns
Springbok lock Marvin Orie in action during the Test against Georgia at Loftus Versfeld in July. He is back in the starting line-up for Saturday's Test against the Wallabies.It is with that guiding principle that they made just one uncoerced adjustment to their team to play the Wallabies on Saturday, while their hand was forced into a second.
Orie, who has played six Tests, will only start his second from the outset having done so against Argentina in Gqeberha last month. “He's played a lot of first-class rugby in Currie Cup and Super Rugby. He's been in this position. This is why he is with us. We trust him as a player.“He's played at the same school, Tygerberg, with Eben Etzebeth. They know each other well.”
“Trevor brings experience,” reminded Nienaber about Nyakane. “He played loosehead for us against Argentina but then sustained an ankle injury. “It is for continuity,” said Nienaber. “We try to think of team selection as unemotionally as possible.
