 Rossouw made his international debut for the Springboks in 2003

South Africa have made one change for their final Tri-Nations match against Australia in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
Lock Danie Rossouw, who has been troubled by a hip injury, returns to the starting XV after two weeks on the bench, replacing Filip van der Merwe.
On the bench Gio Aplon replaces Butch James, who injured his shoulder in last weekend's 44-31 win over the Wallabies.
South Africa are a point ahead of the Australians having played a game more, with New Zealand already champions.
Some observers suggested that because the All Blacks had already won their seventh title in nine years, De Villiers should have rested some senior players and experimented with youth against the Wallabies.
But the coach said: "I wasn't tempted to make more changes, all our focus is on this one game and we can only take our future planning from there afterwards."
De Villiers did reveal, however, that he was monitoring the progress of hooker Bismarck du Plessis and loosehead prop Tendai Mtawarira.
Du Plessis recently returned to action following a neck injury, while Zimbabwe-born Mtawarira has not played a Test this year after concerns over his eligibility to play for South Africa.
"Both will be back at the end of the year and in top form. It's good to have competition in the team," De Villiers said.
South Africa: Francois Steyn; JP Pietersen, Jaque Fourie, Jean de Villiers, Bryan Habana; Morne Steyn, Francois Hougaard, Gurthro Steenkamp, John Smit, Jannie du Plessis, Danie Roussouw, Victor Matfield, Schalk Burger, Juan Smith, Pierre Spies.
