The Boks have not beaten the All Blacks since 2018 and it has been four clashes since they got that rare win in Wellington. Their proclivity to take to the air with their hard-earned possession, at times when they have already secured favourable field position, has won them few admirers. In defeat, that tactic becomes an eyesore.
Ox Nché is the starting loose head prop again after tight head Frans Malherbe was ruled out through injury. To accommodate the change Trevor Nyakane reverts to tight head.Frustratingly, star wing Cheslin Kolbe remains an absentee as he is still sidelined with the leg injury he sustained eight days before the first Wallaby Test.
“We are still building towards that. When No 1 and No 2 in the world meet, you play your best possible.”
