The Wallabies Rugby Championship campaign has moved to Perth where they will take on the Springboks on Saturday night at Patersons Stadium.
After a heavy defeat at the hands of the All Blacks in Auckland, Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie has swung the axe and made three changes to the starting side that took to Eden Park.
The halves experiment of Nic White and Kurtley Beale has been shelved in favour of the Waratahs combination of Nick Phipps and Bernard Foley.
Other changes in the backline see Adam Ashley-Cooper move out to the right wing after the injury enforced retirement of Pat McCabe with Tevita Kuridrani filling the outside centre position.
The forward pack has one change with James Hanson replacing the injured Nathan Charles at hooker.
The bench has a 6/2 split with James Horwill taking his place on the bench with Will Skelton making way. Also included on the bench is Matt Hodgson who will be looking to make his first Wallabies appearance since 2011, coincidentally against South Africa.
