  • South Africa have made just one change to their starting pack to the one that took on New Zealand at Twickenham - Jasper Wiese comes in for Duane Vermeulen at number eight for his fourth start of the year.
  • Cheslin Kolbe comes in on the left wing for Makazole Mapimpi
  • Damian de Allende and Jesse Kriel are reunited in the midfield. It will be the ninth time they have played as a partnership since RWC 2019.
