CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- Captain James Horwill returned from injury and centre Tevita Kuridrani was handed his first start as the Wallabies looked to beef up their physical presence for a Rugby Championship test against South Africa that few people give the visitors a chance in. Second-rower Horwill and muscular midfielder Kuridrani were among six changes to the Australian 23 following a 14-13 win over Argentina two weeks ago, new coach Ewen McKenzies first victory. Half the changes were in the backline, where ACT Brumbies outside centre Kuridrani was in the starting 15 for the first time and there was a new wing combination of Joe Tomane and Adam Ashley-Cooper. They replaced James OConnor, who was dropped for the tour for disciplinary reasons, and the injured Nick Cummins. Up front, Horwill boosted a pack that struggled at times with the physicality of the Argentines and will be sternly tested by South Africas big, bullying forwards at Newlands on Saturday. Experienced prop Benn Robinson returned on the bench and Kuridranis promotion made way among the reserves for 19-year-old backline player Chris Feauai-Sautia. Scrumhalf Nic White also retained his starting place, with former skipper Will Genia again relegated to the bench. Horwills recall and the selection of a bigger, stronger backline were the most telling changes for the underdog Wallabies, who identified their struggles up front and at the collision as pressing problems this season from their three straight defeats to start the McKenzie era and the southern hemisphere championship. "James (Horwill) has plenty of experience and we are going into a tough environment. He plays the game hard so its timely that he is back," McKenzie said. "In our outside backs weve already been forced into change but Tomane on one wing is pretty straight forward. He is big and powerful and has been in the squad for a long time." Australias heavy defeat to South Africa in Brisbane came from the Boks advantage in the scrums and at the breakdown and, to add to that, the Wallabies also go up against a poor recent record at Cape Towns Newlands ground, where they have lost five straight since winning in 1992 on South Africas return post-apartheid. The Wallabies are out of the running for the Rugby Championship title but still have the capacity, and the running game, to upset South Africa. The Springboks also have placed much of their focus on next weekends showdown with defending champion New Zealand in Johannesburg, a probable title decider. "We approach every game as though we can win it and Ive never felt we cant go out there with that expectation," McKenzie said. "No one will back us but that sits fine with us. Two wins in a row would be significant for this team, especially winning in South Africa given their current circumstance. Weve got a great opportunity to be a thorn in what they are trying to do." ------ Australia: Israel Folau, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Tevita Kuridrani, Christian Lealiifano, Joe Tomane, Quade Cooper, Nic White; Ben Mowen, Michael Hooper, Scott Fardy, James Horwill (captain), Rob Simmons, Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore, James Slipper.

Appling scored 16 of his career-high tying 27 points in the first half to help No. 5 Michigan State pull away and rout New Orleans 101-48 Saturday. The senior point guard, playing with a hip pointer, was held to four points on 2-for-11 shooting with just two assists in last weeks 14-point win at Texas. "I was able to get a couple of days off over Christmas break and rest up," Appling said. "That helped my body heal. Now, my hip feels 100 per cent." Appling equaled the career high in scoring he set last month against Oklahoma, a fact that didnt surprise New Orleans coach Mark Slessinger. "Being from the Midwest, Im still a Big Ten junkie and I watch Big Ten stuff," said Slessinger, who is from Bloomington, Ind. "Hes always been underrated nationally. We didnt stop him in transition and he played a very, very efficient game." Appling matched a season high with eight assists, had only one turnover and grabbed five rebounds against the Privateers. "The biggest thrill was Keith coming off one of his worst games, really bounced back," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. The Spartans (11-1) struggled for several minutes against New Orleans (3-5) before taking control with a 12-0 run midway through the first half. They led 44-27 at halftime and easily added to their comfortable cushion in the second half with 57 more points, finishing with their highest-scoring game since beating Nebraska-Omaha 110-68 two years ago. "Once we got on track, there were some bright spots," Izzo said. The Privateers had won two straight, including their previous game at UTEP. New Orleans Matt Derenbecker scored 16 and Cory Dixon had 11 points. "We took some ill-timed shots that were outside of our game plan," Slessinger said. "We wanteed to shorten the game and make it almost a little ugly and really try to work the clock and try to get the best shot we could.dddddddddddd. We got out of our comfort zone and our game plan for this game and that allowed them to make runs." Gary Harris scored 19, Adreian Payne had 17 points and Denzel Valentine had 10 points, a career-high 13 rebounds and six assists for the Spartans in their final tuneup before beginning the Big Ten season Tuesday night at Penn State. Michigan State rested starting forward Branden Dawson because of a shin bruise. "He got kicked in the shin (Friday) on a drill," Izzo said, adding he probably couldve played Saturday. The Spartans also let centre Matt Costello watch one more game even though he was cleared to play. Costello missed his fourth straight game with mononucleosis, but is expected to play a little in the conference opener. Reserve centre Kenny Kaminski will be eligible to add depth against the Nittany Lions after serving an academic-related, three-game suspension. "I like the direction were heading," Izzo said. "I just need more consistency, but when you dont get practice with everybody for three weeks, you shouldnt be totally surprised by the lack of consistency." Harris responded with a poor start against New Orleans with a solid game offensively. The sophomore shooting guard was 0 for 5 before a second straight 3-pointer capped Michigan States pivotal run that gave it a 21-10 lead. Before the burst, the Spartans had more turnovers (six) than made shots (four) against a fired-up team aiming for an upset. New Orleans, a Southland Conference school, couldnt sustain its early success and fell to 7-30 against ranked teams. "We started off kind of sluggish," Appling said. "We didnt cover things exactly to way we wanted, but the big thing is that we finished strong."
