Seven changes have been made to the Springboks side that will face the All Blacks this Saturday, as Springboks Coach Rassie Erasmus looks to clinch a win in Wellington this week after last weekend’s 24-17 defeat.

Siya Kolisi returns as captain, shifting from No. 8 to flanker, while Jesse Kriel, the skipper in Auckland, drops out of the match-day 23.

Most adjustments come in the backline, with Cobus Reinach at halfback, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu at flyhalf, Damian Willemse and Canan Moodie in the midfield, Ethan Hooker and Cheslin Kolbe on the wings, and Aphelele Fassi at fullback.

The Springboks will take on the All Blacks at 7.05pm Saturday at the Sky Stadium in Wellington.
