South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus has made four changes to the team that defeated the All Blacks last weekend for the third Test on Sunday.
Fullback Damian Willemse has been ruled out with a hamstring injury that forced him to leave the field at half-time during the Springboks’ 33-26 victory in Cape Town, which levelled the four-match series at 1-all.
Cheslin Kolbe, who kicked 18 points in the second-Test triumph, moves from the right wing to fullback to replace Willemse, while Kurt-Lee Arendse takes over the No. 14 jersey.
Loosehead prop Gerhard Steenekamp, 39-year-old hooker Deon Fourie and tighthead prop Thomas du Toit move to the bench, with Ox Nche, Malcolm Marx and Wilco Louw coming into the starting XV.
Captain Siya Kolisi will once again team up with Pieter-Steph du Toit at flanker, while Jasper Wiese starts at No. 8.
The Springboks will face the All Blacks at 3am on Sunday.
The fourth and final Test will be played on September 13th at 3am.
