The Springboks have announced their 23-man squad for the highly anticipated Rugby Championship fourth-round clash against New Zealand, set to take place in Cape Town this Saturday. Siya Kolisi returns from injury to lead the team as captain.
Veteran Handrè Pollard will start at flyhalf, while Willie le Roux takes his place at fullback. Canan Moodie steps in on the wing to replace the injured Kurt-Lee Arendse, and Grant Williams is set to start at scrumhalf.
The bench features a five-three split between forwards and backs, with Jaden Hendrickse, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, and Lukhanyo Am among the backs providing cover.
Currently, the Springboks top the Rugby Championship standings with three victories from their three matches. The All Blacks, who have only secured one win from three games, are aiming to close the gap. In their previous encounter, the Springboks narrowly defeated New Zealand 31-27 in Johannesburg.
