Springboks make two changes to starting XV for final New Zealand test

The Springboks announced two changes to their lineup for the final Test against the All Blacks, held in Baltimore, USA. With a 2-1 lead in the series, coach Rassie Erasmus has opted for maximum stability. Damian Willemse returns to his fullback position, replacing the injured Cheslin Kolbe, who remains in South Africa with five teammates ahead of the upcoming Perth Test.

Morne van den Berg starts at scrumhalf, following a notable performance at FNB Stadium, while Cobus Reinach moves to the bench for added late-game composure. Erasmus emphasizes continuity against the determined All Blacks, as victory here secures the series; defeat splits the spoils. Kick-off is set for 11pm SA time, with the Boks ready for an intense 80-minute battle against a team built on unwavering pride.
