Tom Robertson and Nick Champion de Crespigny will both return to the Wallabies line-up for Saturday night's second Test against the Springboks in Cape Town in the Rugby Championship.
Dubbo product Robertson is one of three changes to the matchday 23 from the Wallabies side that stunned the world champions in Johannesburg last weekend.
He’ll start at loosehead prop, after James Slipper returned home under the HIA protocols, joining Billy Pollard and Taniela Tupou in the run on front row.
Champion de Crespigny is among the finishers named for the game, with five Force players in the 23-man team list.
Retiring scrum-half Nic White starts again, while back-rower Champion de Crespigny joins lock Jeremy Williams and hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa as reserves.
Dylan Pietsch is unavailable due to a fractured jaw sustained last weekend.
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt said: “The squad as a whole has recovered pretty well from what was a very draining and physical Test match on the highveld last week.
“We struggled to contain a powerhouse Springbok start last weekend and we know that we have to improve leading into what’s likely to be a bruising encounter in Cape Town on Saturday night.”
