Australia did concede 12 tries in the 2 matches against New Zealand and it was the main reason behind their humiliating defeats. However, one cannot overlook the fact that they managed to score only 3 tries themselves. The fact that Scrum-half Will Genia scampered through the All Blacks’ defence to score one of those tries further underlines the ineptness of the Australian wingers.
Marika Koroibete had a decent debut season for the Wallabies in 2017-18 as he managed to score 5 tries for them. He would fancy his chances of scoring tries against a relatively slower Boks’ defence. Reece Hodge should also be a contender for scoring tries as he scored one in Auckland. However, Israel Folau remains the Wallabies’ most potent attacking weapon and if he is fit to play on Saturday, the Wallabies’ fans would want him to create holes in the South African defence with his surging runs from the deep.
