The Wallabies have slumped to their sixth loss of the 2016 season, going down 10-18 to the Springboks in Pretoria on Sunday morning.

It was a disappointing result for the Aussies as they looked to end their run of losses at Loftus Versfeld, but couldn’t quite get the job done despite holding the Boks tryless.

There’s just one more match left now of the Rugby Championship for the Australian side, against Argentina at Twickenham next week, and they need to win if they’re to square the ledger at 3-3 across the competition.

So what needs to be done between now and then? Were the changes made for this Test good ones – or should they be reversed? Should we stick with the current set up and hope it comes good, or bring in some fresh faces and pray for a turnaround?

For the answer to that all-important question, Roarers, we’re turning things over to you.

What changes need to be made ahead of the Test against the Springboks? Who fared well last night, who flopped? Who deserves another chance, and whose time is up? Who are Australia’s best options waiting in the wings? In short: who comes in, who goes out?

There will, we bet, be a variety of opinions on the matter, and in this week’s Roar Forum you are invited to let us know in the comments what yours is.
