Re-jigged All Blacks focus on set-piece and tempo to silence Springboks in Cape Town

All Blacks coach Dave Rennie anticipates a fierce battle against South Africa, as his team prepares for the second Test of Rugby's Greatest Rivalry at DHL Stadium in Cape Town. Rennie has made six changes to the matchday 23, including three changes to the starting XV: Leroy Carter replaces Josh Moorby on the left wing, Simon Parker comes in at blindside flank, and George Bower is promoted to the No. 1 jersey at loosehead prop.

Bower replaces the concussed Ethan de Groot. The coach acknowledges the Boks' potential resurgence, stating that they will be disappointed with last weekend's performance and that the Springboks are tough to beat when at their best. However, Rennie emphasizes that his team is better and aims to lift their level, focusing on their own strengths rather than South Africa's.

The scrum will be a crucial aspect, with Rennie predicting another tightly contested affair after its impact in Johannesburg. The coach also mentions the need to play at a high tempo to create scoring opportunities, as South Africa effectively denied them that advantage last week.
