# Rugby: Springbok captain Siya Kolisi will play in the number eight jersey in Saturday’s Rugby Championship opener against the Wallabies at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. This will be the first time he leads the team from the back of the scrum. Aphelele Fassi will start at fullback, André Esterhyuizen at inside centre and Manie Libbok at flyhalf. Eben Etzebeth and Lood de Jager partner in the second row. Bok coach Rassie Erasmus expects a challenging test against Australia, who beat the British and Irish Lions recently.
