Overview

• The 26-year-old flanker was appointed the Wallabies' 91st captain for Saturday's Rugby Championship Test in Cape Town after Harry Wilson's knee injury.
• McReight said he feels privileged but expects the captaincy will not alter his approach, emphasizing action-led leadership and measured communication with the referee.
• Coach Joe Schmidt pointed to McReight's under-20 captaincy and "quiet leader" traits, noting injuries to Allan Alaalatoa, James Slipper, Wilson and Liam Wright reduced leadership options.
• Australia arrive off a 38-22 comeback win at Ellis Park after trailing 22-0, where McReight starred and briefly assumed on-field duties when Wilson left injured.
• South Africa reworked their side following the defeat, with Willie le Roux injured in training and Aphelele Fassi recalled as Rassie Erasmus' planned 10 changes became nine.
