Ross Cronjé returns to the Springboks’ starting line-up for Saturday’s Rugby Championship Test against the Wallabies in Bloemfontein.

Cronjé replaces Francois Hougaard in the team, while the only other change to the backline sees Dillyn Leyds running on the wing for his first start.

Leyds replaces Raymond Rhule who was released to represent the Toyota Cheetahs in the Guinness Pro14.

Upfront Francois Louw returns to run out at flank, with Jean-Luc du Preez and Pieter-Steph du Toit on the bench.

The last time these two teams met in Bloemfontein was in September 2010 when the Wallabies beat the Springboks 41-39.

Saturday’s Test at the Toyota Stadium kicks off at 17:00.
