Springboks make two late changes for Cape Town clash against All Blacks

Springboks make two late changes for Cape Town clash against All Blacks

Cheslin Kolbe has been cleared to return on the right wing after recovering from the knock that forced him off during last week's opening Test in Johannesburg, while Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has been promoted to start at flyhalf.

Kolbe replaces Kurt-Lee Arendse in the matchday squad, while Feinberg-Mngomezulu comes into the starting XV after Handre Pollard picked up a niggle during training on Wednesday.

Pollard was assessed again on Friday morning, with the decision subsequently taken to withdraw him from the team.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who started at flyhalf in the Springboks' Test against Argentina and last week's clash with the All Blacks, will therefore reclaim the No 10 jersey.

Manie Libbok has been added to the replacements bench as flyhalf cover, alongside scrumhalf Morne van den Berg.

The Springboks will face the All Blacks at DHL Stadium from 17:10 on Saturday.

Springboks - revised: 15 Damian Willemse, 14 Cheslin Kolbe, 13 Jesse Kriel, 12 Damian de Allende, 11 Ethan Hooker, 10 Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, 9 Cobus Reinach, 8 Jasper Wiese, 7 Pieter-Steph du Toit, 6 Siya Kolisi (c), 5 Ruan Nortje, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Wilco Louw, 2 Malcolm Marx, 1 Ox Nche.

Replacements: 16 Deon Fourie, 17 Gerhard Steenekamp, 18 Thomas du Toit, 19 Lood de Jager, 20 Andre Esterhuizen, 21 Cameron Hanekom, 22 Morne van den Berg, 23 Manie Libbok.
