South Africa have recalled Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu to their matchday squad for Saturday's Rugby Championship Test against New Zealand in Johannesburg. The 23-year-old fly-half or centre has been named among the replacements after recovering from a knee injury.
Team Changes
Feinberg-Mngomezulu replaces the injured Damian Willemse, who has been ruled out of the remainder of the tournament with a groin problem. Handre Pollard retains the starting fly-half berth, with Jesse Kriel and Lukhanyo Am continuing in the centres.
Head coach Rassie Erasmus has made two other changes to the starting XV from the side that beat Argentina 27-22 in Buenos Aires last weekend. Lock Franco Mostert comes in for the suspended RG Snyman, while scrum-half Jaden Hendrikse replaces the injured Faf de Klerk.
Match Context
South Africa currently lead the Rugby Championship standings with 14 points, four ahead of New Zealand. A win on Saturday would secure the title with one round to play.
New Zealand, meanwhile, have named an unchanged starting XV from their 31-19 victory over Australia in Perth. Head coach Scott Robertson has kept faith with the same run-on side, with Beauden Barrett at full-back and Jordie Barrett at fly-half.
The match kicks off at 17:05 local time at Ellis Park.
