AUSTRALIA have made one change to their team to face South Africa in the second Test in Brisbane on Saturday. The former Fijian back row forward, Ilie Tabua, now of Queensland, has been brought in for his debut in place of Warwick Waugh, the New South Wales lock. However, Tabua must pass a fitness test on an injured hamstring and the New South Wales flanker, Michael Brial, has been put on standby.
