The Boks will be lacking some game time after having to go through quarantine in Queensland, while the hosts played against the All Blacks just last week.

The Wallabies have been on the receiving end of the All Blacks recently, while the Springboks are expecting a backlash.

The returning Springbok scrumhalf, Faf de Klerk, said they are under no illusion.

“From my personal experience of playing in Australia, it is incredibly tough and it’s always a massive physical challenge.

“Adding to that, the way they play these days where they almost try to run you off your feet is going to test us defensively, so it will be a tough game.

“They are a bunch of proud guys from a proud country, so I think they’ll come out with everything they have.

“We know we are going to get the best out of them, and we know that if we don’t bring our best, we’ll probably get a hiding in this game.

“We’ve spoken about it a lot this week, and the guys are ready for what lies ahead. We know it won’t be easy.”

Sunday’s Test at the Cbus Stadium kicks off at 12:05.
