South African coach Peter de Villiers has stated that he will not repeat his error from the British and Irish Lions series and instead will name his strongest line-up to face the Wallabies this weekend.

The unbeaten Springboks are just two points away from clinching their first Tri-Nations' crown in five years and de Villiers declared he will not be taking the crisis-hit Wallabies for granted in Brisbane.

Instead of resting some key personnel and giving more game-time to other players, de Villiers said he will go in strong against the win-less Aussies.

The world champions' only loss this year was to the British and Irish Lions in the dead-rubber third Test, when de Villiers experimented with his team and paid the price.

"You know, you only make a mistake once in your life, I made that mistake with the Lions," de Villiers told a press conference.

"It chose to work in our favour because I know where I stand with combinations and individual abilities.

"[But] for me to do the same thing now, when will I learn?

"So it's not about winning the Tri-Nations, it's taking it game by game and trying to stay number one in the world.

"We want to be the leading rugby nation, we want to set the trends, put down our markers, we want the world to follow us and we don't want to make our emblem cheap."

It is an ominous sign for the Aussies, with the showdown at the Suncorp Stadium South Africa's second match of a hectic three-week trek Down Under to end the tournament.
