Springbok team to face All Blacks at FNB Stadium attended these SCHOOLS

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus opted for continuity in selection for the third Test of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry against New Zealand at the FNB Stadium in Soweto on Saturday, 5 September, making only four changes and one positional switch to his starting team for the clash.

The changes to the match-23 will see the front row of Ox Nche, Wilco Louw (both props) and Malcolm Marx (hooker) return to the starting team, with Gerhard Steenekamp, Thomas du Toit and Deon Fourie switching to the replacements bench, while an injury-enforced change to versatile back Damian Willemse sees Cheslin Kolbe switch to fullback and Kurt-Lee Arendse being drafted onto the wing in the starting team.

Come out firing

Erasmus expects the All Blacks to come out firing this weekend, saying they would have the same desperation to fight back after the Springboks’ 33-26 victory, saw the teams draw the series with two matches to play.

“We know how it felt after the first match in Johannesburg, and such a result really galvanises a team, so we have no doubt that they will go full-out to win this Test match before the series finale in the USA next week,” said Erasmus.

“They are one of the two best teams in the world and based on experience, they never give up, as we saw last weekend, so this will undoubtedly be another epic encounter between the sides.

“After two games, we are both into hard Test rugby mode, and we have a good idea of what to expect from one another, so it is going to be another grind of a match.”

The match kicks off at 17:10 and will be broadcast live on SuperSport.
