  "account": "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.",
