PRETORIA : A new 'old' coach and several players returning to the side make Australia an unknown quantity for South Africa, according to Springbok captain Duane Vermeulen, as they prepare for their Rugby Championship opener at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.

"Luckily we have some strong decision-makers on the field, guys that can say, 'let’s focus on this, or try to do that', whether it be on defence or attack."
