Wallabies team to play South Africa

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has made just one change to his starting side for The Rugby Championship Test against South Africa at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.

Melbourne Rebels backrower Sean McMahon will step in at number eight with David Pocock ruled out with a hand injury.

McMahon hasn't started in the Gold jersey since the Wallabies went down to England at Sydney's Allianz Stadium in the third Test of the June series.
