Wallabies up for challenge, says Deans

ROBBIE DEANS is adamant his Australia side will be up for the challenge when they come up against South Africa in their Tri-Nations encounter at Newlands tomorrow.

The Wallabies coach yesterday named his side to play the Springboks with only one slight surprise coming in the shape of axed veteran forward Phil Waugh.

The Waratahs flanker was left out of the match 22 altogether and replaced on the bench by winger Peter Hynes. It was the only change to the line-up that suffered a 22-16 loss to New Zealand last month as the Australians returned to a more traditional split of four forwards and three backs.
