JUST IN | Cheslin Kolbe roped into Springbok team, Handre Pollard OUT

Springbok wing Cheslin Kolbe and flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu have been drafted into the starting line-up for the second Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Series Test against the All Blacks in Cape Town on Saturday, while Manie Libbok will serve as the back-up flyhalf on the replacements bench.

Kolbe has recovered fully from the knock that saw him leave the field in last week’s opening Test between the sides in Johannesburg and will replace Kurt-Lee Arendse in the matchday squad.

Picked up a niggle

Handre Pollard has picked up a niggle at training on Wednesday, and after being assessed on Friday morning, the decision was made to withdraw him from the team.

As a result, Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who started the Tests against Argentina and the All Blacks last week, has been called on to the start the match, while Libbok will provide cover on the bench along with scrumhalf Morne van den Berg.

The match, which will be hosted at the Cape Town Stadium, kicks off at 17:10 and will be broadcast live on SuperSport.
