South Africa have made 10 changes to their starting line-up for Saturday's Rugby Championship Test with Australia in Perth, including first starts for scrumhalf Morne van den Berg and lock Ruan Nortje.
The world champion Springboks were comprehensive 33-7 winners in their tournament opener against the Wallabies in Brisbane last weekend and have rested several of their established names as coach Rassie Erasmus gives further experience to his wider group.

Aphelele Fassi comes in at fullback, part of a back three that also includes Cheslin Kolbe and Makazole Mapimpi.
Jesse Kriel keeps his place at outside centre and will partner Lukhanyo Am, who gets a rare run in the No.12 jersey.
Young flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, 22, retains his place after an impressive display and there will be a first start for Van den Berg at scrumhalf.
Props Thomas du Toit and Jan-Hendrik Wessels are either side of hooker Johan Grobbelaar in an all-new front row, while there is also a new lock pairing in captain Salmaan Moerat and Nortje.
Elrigh Louw stays at No.8, with Pieter-Steph du Toit shifting from lock back to his more familiar flanker position and Marco van Staden completing the back row.
"We made it clear from the outset this season that one of our main goals is to build squad depth with an eye on the next Rugby World Cup here in Australia, and we feel there is no better way to test some of the younger players and assess where we are as a group against a top-tier nation, especially away from home," Erasmus said.
“All of the younger players made a strong impression against Portugal and in the other Tests in which they received an opportunity to showcase their skills, and we believe that their hunger to play, combined with their individual skills will be a fantastic driving force for them to build on the result in Brisbane.
“We have a big squad, and it’s important to balance some players’ workload while at the same time bringing a few young players into the mix, and this squad allows us to do both."
There is plenty of experience on the bench, including two flyhalves in Manie Libbok and Handre Pollard in a 5-3 split between forwards and backs.
