Baby stops Wallaby in his tracks
Veteran hooker Stephen Moore will not travel with the squad to Perth on Sunday, with the 122-Test veteran to remain at home in Brisbane with his wife for the birth of their child.
Moore will re-join the squad following the Test against South Africa in Perth, with the hooker available for selection for the clash with Argentina in Canberra on September 16.
Waratahs hooker Tolu Latu will now join the squad after overcoming a neck injury that ruled the four Test rookie out of the opening two Bledisloe Cup clashes.
The squad otherwise remains unchanged, with the Wallabies currently third on the Rugby Championship table after just one bonus point in the opening two rounds.
South Africa currently top the standings following two convincing wins against Argentina.
Australia last faced South Africa in Perth back in 2014, with the Wallabies securing a memorable 24-23 win over the Springboks following a late try to Rob Horne.
At home, the Wallabies have won 24 of the 37 games against South Africa including the last three Test matches.
Several players are currently unavailable due to injury. They include Kyle Godwin (knee), Karmichael Hunt (ankle), James Slipper (achilles) and Sefa Naivalu (ankle).
