The opposite I think, bearing in mind you have to work with existing pitch characteristics. Pace and bounce. Less life just means RSA quicks notably better. And bounce gives an advantage in Lyon.Regardless if Australia were to doctor a pitch against SA it would probably be to make it a slow turner, you'd think
See AUS mostly winning in RSA and RSA mostly winning in AUS since AUS pitches lost some juice.
A rank turner would also be ok though. Especially for depleted AUS. Just turn the match into a comedy of errors
