The Baby Boks need to secure a victory on Sunday to guarantee themselves a place in their third consecutive Cup semi-final. The South Africans recorded a 73-0 victory over Scotland on Wednesday.
The team selected for Sunday’s game features the return of Springbok sevens winger Sampie Mastriet, Lions centre Jaco Taute and Free State Cheetahs flanker Fanie van der Walt.
The three players are in the side in place of Branco du Preez (centre), Mlungisi Bali (flank) and Sibusiso Sithole (wing). Du Preez and Bali will warm the bench for the Baby Boks, while Sithole drops out of the match 22.
Sauls has opted for a 5-2 split with his bench players and has selected an entire front row combination in his seven reserves. Props Ruan Dreyer and Wessel du Rand who enjoyed solid performances off the bench during the SA Under-20s’ emphatic victory over Scotland, and hooker Francois du Toit are likely to be used as impact players during the course of the game.
Mastriet will join the exciting back three combination of Patrick Lambie and Wandile Mjekevu. Taute will unite with centre Francois Venter in the midfield while Van der Walt returns to the loose-forward trio which includes SA Under-20 captain CJ Stander and Siyamthanda Kolisi.
“We’ve had a relatively good build up to the Australian game and the players are focused in terms of what is expected of them,” said Sauls.
“Like any other World Championship game, we are treating this match as a must win game in order for us to confirm ourselves as a semi-final contender. But we know Australia are in the same position. They will also be aiming to bag a win on Sunday and secure a semi-final spot. So it’s going to be a close and tough game.”
SA Under-20 team: (15 -1) Patrick Lambie, Sampie Mastriet, Jaco Taute, Francois Venter, Wandile Mjekevu, Elton Jantjies, Louis Schreuder, CJ Stander (c), Fanie van der Walt, Siya Kolisi, Sebastian de Chaves, Kenny Okafor, Marcel van der Merwe, Monde Hadebe, Brummer Badenhorst. Reserves: Francois du Toit, Ruan Dreyer, Wessel du Rand, Mlungisi Bali, Lubabalo Mtembu, Branco du Preez, Nico Scheepers.

Semi Final
South Africa vs New Zealand
Interesting to note that over the last five years blogging here and Keo we are all the same regardless of where we come from.
There is so much said about how aus dont support a team that is not winning…the same goes for NZ and RSA.
There is much quietness for the young bokke and the sevens Boks…why? …they are not winning as much!!!
Gatiep bought his girlfriend a present for her birthday.
She opened it and then said :
“wat the hell would i want wit a rocket…??”.
He said “djy soek mos space……. Nou… fok off…..!
trips @ 27
lol
wallabie @ 26
watching the all blacks play against 13 irish players …. worth 10 zimbabwean dollars
watching the boks dismantle the french in a clinical display was worth more than the amount spent on a test ticket
but
seeing the aussie frontrow having to pull their heads out of their asses after every scrum was, yes you’ve guessed it, PRICELESS!!
Aahley
Enjy the mment because them english are the sorry ones…and that is where the real value is!!
yes the front row was bad…not bad for a front row and the 2 reserves who had a collective time of 149 minutes in test rugby. The engish front row excuding their 3 reserves totaled 150 test caps.
It was ike babies against men and the babies won.
We will have our front row back against the boks…..and going by the ast 2 games the boks and aus played the boks saw their asses and did not get the opportunity to remove their heads out.
This youngster “Taute” didnt his Dad or his Oupa play for Western Transvaal?
