Springboks still irritated after All Blacks loss and make 4 changes for second test
South Africa showed improvement in their ranking for the first time in nearly a year after losing to New Zealand in their first test match. However, they are now determined to bounce back strongly in their second test match this Saturday. The new lineup includes five new reserves and four changes from the starting XV, with Siya Kolisi potentially becoming the captain if he can play with his hamstring issues.
Coach Rassie Erasmus admitted that his team was frustrated with their performance, but believes that converting more chances would have made a difference. He also praised Paul de Villiers' performance and reiterated that Siya Kolisi is their captain.
