Australia v South Africa: Rugby Test in Perth

Published September 27, 2026 · Updated September 27, 2026 · The Guardian

Australia's Wallabies take on South Africa's Springboks in Perth as rugby league recruit Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii makes his wing debut in a physical Test focused on aerial targets.

Rob Valetini emphasized the Wallabies' focus on physicality ahead of the match. The 23-year-old Suaalii, who switched from rugby league in 2024, has played 22 internationals but will be used as an aerial target on the wing today. Hunter Paisami partners John Eales Medal winner Len Ikitau in the midfield.

The Springboks arrive in Perth as rugby's traditional powers, with the Wallabies seeking to capitalize on home advantage in this international Test match. forestarrow.help
