South Africa host Australia on Saturday at Kings Park in Durban and will look to halt a poor recent run of results against their Tri-Nations rivals.

The Wallabies have won four out of the last five meetings between the two sides with their most recent success in the first round of the Tri-Nations where they prevailed 39-20. The record for South Africa at Kings Park - however - against the Australian's is mixed with the home side winning two of their four Tests. The last game between the two sides - in August 2008 - finished in a win for the Australians as they ran out 27-15 victors.

However, the Springboks hold the historical advantage over the Wallabies with 41 Test victories to their rivals' 30 since their first meeting in Sydney back in 1921 in which the Boks prevailed 25-10. South Africa last won at Kings Park back in 2004 edging their opponents 23-19.
