(Reuters) - South Africa captain Siya Kolisi says Australia have made their intentions clear with a 6-2 split between forwards and backs on their bench in the Rugby Championship clash between the sides in Adelaide on Saturday.

There is some irony in the Wallabies having moved to a forward-based game-plan among the replacements just as the Springboks, often criticised for being too focused on using their powerful pack, have moved away from it by adding an extra back to their bench.
