The team shows 13 changes to the starting line-up, while the 23 includes talented prop Gerhard Steenekamp, who could make his Springbok debut. Steenekamp, who has progressed through the South African rugby ranks in the past few seasons after representing the Junior Springboks and making a strong statement for the Vodacom Bulls in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship, is the only uncapped player in the squad, and will become Springbok No 933.
