Wallabies second-rower Jeremy Williams is ready to take on the Springboks as a host of new faces get their chance to shine.
The South Africans have named a rotated squad for Sunday's clash in Perth, with 13 changes from their final Test win over the All Blacks.

Even still, the team is loaded with world-class talent, headlined by legendary lock Eben Etzebeth, South Africa's all-time cap leader with 146.
Winger Edwill van der Merwe, flanker Paul de Villiers and prop Zachary Porthen are the only Springboks starters with fewer than 10 Test caps, with the latter two amongst some of the brightest forward prospects in World Rugby.
"They've obviously named quite an experienced team. In the locks they've got around 240 caps between them," Williams said. "They've got quite a lot of experience out in the park.
"I know that we're backing ourselves in the training that we're doing this week, and we know that if we go out there and set the tone physicality-wise, we'll be a good shot."
The Wallabies weren't reading too much into South Africa's early team naming, keeping the focus internally.
"Perhaps we'll wait for the 23 to be absolutely confirmed," winger Harry Potter joked about knowing the team so early.
"I suppose it allows you to know your opposition, get a bit of an idea of what we're coming up against. There's been a lot of focus on ourselves as well and we'll be working on ourselves and making sure we come out firing."
The Wallabies were drawing off their heroics last year in South Africa, ending a 62-year drought at Johannesburg.
They nearly completed the double in Cape Town, with Williams and the Wallabies ready to test themselves against the best.
"It'd be awesome," Williams said when asked about beating South Africa again on Sunday.
"They've won World Cups, and they obviously had a successful tour with New Zealand.
"We're really pumped to get out there and put in a good performance."
