Boks drop Feinberg-Mngomezulu to bench for All Blacks rematch
Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu pays for an indifferent showing in South Africa's series opener against New Zealand, as the fly-half drops to the Springbok bench.
Handre Pollard returns to the starting lineup for South Africa's All Blacks rematch in Cape Town, following an indifferent performance by fly-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu. The Springboks, coached by Rassie Erasmus, lost 33-16 to New Zealand in the first Test of the series. Erasmus has also named Paul de Villiers as a backup at blindside flanker and Deon Fourie among the replacements.
New Zealand may recall Richie Mo unga to face the Lions, as the All Blacks aim for a 2-0 lead in the four-match series. Mo unga expressed his competitiveness and readiness to help the team succeed, regardless of his starting position.
