Springboks forced into late changes for second Test as Handre Pollard ruled out and Cheslin Kolbe starts

South Africa has made two late changes to their rugby team for the second Test against New Zealand in Cape Town. Fly half Handre Pollard is replaced by Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who will retain the No 10 shirt after being dropped earlier in the week. Kolbe, who had a minor injury, is promoted to right wing, replacing Kurt-Lee Arendse.

Manie Libbok joins the bench to provide backline cover. The Springboks' winning streak of 12 matches came to an end with a 33-16 defeat to the All Blacks. To secure a series win, South Africa must triumph in the upcoming matches in Johannesburg and Baltimore.
