Dual World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi has been named in the starting line-up for the Springboks in their first back-to-back Rugby Championship match against the All Blacks in Eden Park tomorrow.

Kolisi will start at number 8, but will not captain the side.

The former Springboks captain will line up alongside Marco van Staden and Pieter-Steph du Toit in the back row, a combination that has been regular this year.

Head coach Rasie Erasmus has given the captaincy role to centre Jesse Kriel, who lines up next to Damian de Allende as usual in the midfield.

Sharks midfielder Ethan Hooker has been named in the 23 jersey.

The Springboks will take on the All Blacks at 7.05pm tomorrow, and the Wallabies will host Argentina at 4.30pm tomorrow at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

Springbok team to face New Zealand: 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Cheslin Kolbe, 13 Jesse Kriel (c), 12 Damian de Allend, 11 Canan Moodie, 10 Handre Pollard, 9 Grant Williams, 8 Siya Kolisi, 7 Pieter-Steph du Toit, 6 Marco van Staden, 5 Ruan Nortje, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Thomas du Toit, 2 Malcolm Marx, 1 Ox Nche

Replacements: 16 Jan-Hendrik Wessels, 17 Boan Venter, 18 Wilco Louw, 19 Lood de Jager, 20 Kwagga Smith, 21 Cobus Reinach, 22 Sacha Feinberg, 23 Ethan Hooker
