Springboks v All Blacks: How to watch the second Greatest Rivalry Test from anywhere in the world
Springboks full-back Damian McKenzie and All Blacks' Damian McKenzie.
The Springboks and All Blacks collide in the second Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Test in Cape Town on Saturday.
New Zealand head into the fixture boasting a 1-0 lead in the series after claiming an emphatic 33-16 win at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg last weekend.
Team news
In response to that victory, All Blacks head coach Dave Rennie has stuck with largely the same matchday squad, with most of his changes being injury-enforced. Leroy Carter and Josh Moorby trade places, the former getting the starting number 11 jersey while Simon Parker gets the nod at blindside flanker.
Parker comes in to replace Josh Lord, who has been ruled out due to a concussion, with Tupou Vaa’i shifting into the second-row where he partners Fabian Holland. The final change to the run-on team comes at loosehead prop, where George Bower starts ahead of Ethan de Groot who also sustained a head knock.
Meanwhile, Rassie Erasmus named his team on Monday but has been forced into changes on the eve of the meeting. Handre Pollard was initially named at fly-half but has since been withdrawn through injury and replaced by Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, with Manie Libbok included on the bench once again. Cheslin Kolbe is the other late change, as he replaces Kurt-Lee Arendse.
The pack remains mostly the same from the defeat to the All Blacks, with Siya Kolisi’s return to full fitness meaning that Paul de Villiers drops out of the squad. The other changes to the backline see Cobus Reinach take over from Grant Williams while Ethan Hooker starts on the left wing.
The showdown in Cape Town will see Pieter-Steph du Toit become the 11th player to play 100 Test matches for South Africa, following his teammate Damian de Allende who hit the milestone at Ellis Park, while Deon Fourie will become the oldest-ever Springbok player if he comes off the bench.
