Wallaby trio fit to face Boks

Embattled Australia coach Eddie Jones had reason to smile as he watched Mat Rogers, Elton Flatley and Morgan Turinui take to the training paddock on Tuesday.

Elton Flatley: Fit to face the Boks

Rogers has spent the last two weeks nursing a knee injury whilst Flatley and Turinui suffered knocks during their 30-13 Tri-Nations defeat to New Zealand in Sydney, and all three men should be ready to tackle the Springboks in Perth on Saturday.

Matt Giteau is also expected to resume training on Wednesday having recovered from a blow that forced him to retire from the All Black clash.

But Wallaby fullback Chris Latham has still not recovered from a hamstring injury that kept him out of last weekend's game, and he has been ruled out of action for at least another week.

Latham joins hooker Jeremy Paul and centre Stirling Mortlock on the list of injured and unavailable players for Saturday's sold-out match.

Rogers has been training on the wing and at fly-half, indicating the No.15 jersey could go to 21-year-old Drew Mitchell who impressed in his starting debut at the weekend.

"It's pretty much if you're fit, you'll get a run this week," Rogers said when asked if he expected to play in Perth.

"I feel great. It's been a bit of a long road, a frustrating one, to sit back and not be able to do anything when the team has gone through a little bit of a down period."

The Australia side to face South Africa will be named after training on Wednesday.
