Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus has reshuffled his starting line-up for Saturday’s Test against the All Blacks at Cape Town Stadium, drafting in Cheslin Kolbe and Sacha Feinberg Mngomezulu.
Kolbe makes a full return after being forced off during last week’s opening Test and replaces Kurt Lee Arendse in the matchday 23. Meanwhile, flyhalf Feinberg Mngomezulu steps straight into the run-on side following a late training setback for veteran playmaker Handré Pollard.
According to an official team statement detailing Pollard’s late omission:
“Handré Pollard picked up a niggle at training on Wednesday, and after being assessed on Friday morning, the decision was made to withdraw the two-time World Cup winner.”
With Pollard sidelined, Feinberg Mngomezulu who started at flyhalf against Argentina and in the previous clash against New Zealand at Ellis Park reclaims the No 10 jersey.
Manie Libbok joins the replacements bench to cover flyhalf, providing tactical depth alongside scrumhalf Morné van den Berg as South Africa prepare for the next chapter in rugby’s greatest rivalry.
Springboks: 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 Nortjé, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Wilco Louw, 2 Malcolm Marx, 1 Ox Nché.
Replacements: 16 Deon Fourie, 17 Gerhard Steenekamp, 18 Thomas du Toit, 19 Lood de Jager, 20 André Esterhuizen, 21 Cameron Hanekom, 22 Morné van den Berg, 23 Manie Libbok.
