Australia will unleash powerhouse prop Taniela Tupou on South Africa from the start on Saturday, hoping the “Tongan Thor” can provide the heroics Michael Cheika needs to restore confidence in his coaching. Australia hasn’t won in South Africa since 2010. “This is a test match so you make those decisions to put him in there for that with the full belief he will be more than capable to take his opponent on and win,” Cheika said. He arguably got the better of ‘The Beast’ when Australia beat South Africa in Brisbane earlier this month. While South Africa is in a period of rebuilding, fans still demand wins from the team, especially at home.
