- It's been 13 years since the Springboks last scored a try at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane against the Wallabies.
- This will be the sixth test match between Australia and South Africa at this venue. Australia won all five previous encounters with scores 32-20 (1997), 32-6 (1999), 29-9 (2003), 49-0 (2006) and 21-6 (2009).
- Eighteen tries were scored by the Springboks and they conceded only three tries – all of them in the test match in 1997. In the last four tests South Africa did not cross Australia's try line.
- The losing margin of 49 in 2006 is the biggest losing margin against Australia in 68 tests and is South Africa's second biggest losing margin against any team.
- During last year's Tri-Nations tournament the Springboks lost their only test of the tournament at Suncorp. South Africa's only win at this venue was during the 2003 Rugby World Cup when they triumphed 60-10 against Samoa.
