PRETORIA : Australia’s second era under Eddie Jones starts in Pretoria on Saturday at a venue where they have never tasted victory and against a South African side brimming with players aiming to stake their claims for World Cup places in France later this year.
Much of the talk leading into the test at Loftus Versfeld, where Australia are seeking a first win at the seventh attempt, has been of them having to repel an aerial assault by the physical Springboks, who will hit them on land and in the air. Flanker Tom Hooper will make his debut at the back of the scrum, while there are three more new caps on the bench - prop Zane Nonggorr, lock Richie Arnold and flyhalf Carter Gordon.
"Pretoria is probably the loudest crowd you experience around the world. We are looking forward to that and see what we can do in it. What a fantastic opportunity."
