Rugby, Australian Football: Three new faces in South Africa side

Springbok coach Jake White brushed aside injury worries as he handed out three new caps for Saturday's first Test against Ireland in Bloemfontein.
Scrum-half Fourie du Preez, winger Henno Mentz and tighthead prop Eddie Andrews will all start, but there are still major injury concerns that need to be addressed in the 22-man squad.
Bok tighthead Faan Rautenbach underwent surgery to remove cartilage on his knee last week and is a doubtful starter, while centre and tackling kingpin De Wet Barry twisted his ankle during training.
Pedrie Wannenburg, who missed the midweek practice match against a Central Unions XV, has also been included, as has prop Os du Randt, who has been unable to train.
Of the injured players, Barry's ankle is a major worry as he will have a key role in the Test in trying to stop the Irish midfield duo of Gordon Darcy and Brian O'Driscoll.
