Cape Town - History might not count for anything, but it does show that the Springboks have struggled against the Wallabies in Brisbane.
Since 1997, the Boks have taken on Australia 8 times at the now-named Suncorp Stadium and have won just once.
That victory came in 2013, when tries from Coenie Oosthuizen, Jean de Villiers, Zane Kirchner and Willie le Roux set up a dominant 38-12 win for coach Heyneke Meyer's charges.
The worst result for the Boks in Brisbane came in 2006, when Jake White's side were smashed 49-0.
Outside of that 2013 result, the closest the Boks have come to beating the Wallabies at Suncorp post-isolation was last year when they lost by four points - 24-20.
The Boks had led 13-7 at half-time through an Eben Etzebeth try and a conversion and two penalties by Handre Pollard.
The Boks extended their lead with a Jesse Kriel try just after half-time, but the Wallabies hit back though Michael Hooper and a last-minute score from Tevita Kuridrani to secure the win.
Kick-off on Saturday is at 12:05 (SA time).
