South Africa have made two late changes ahead of the Springboks' second rugby Test against New Zealand on Saturday, with Cheslin Kolbe called up and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu restored to the starting XV.
Kolbe had been left out of the side due to injury after the first Test, which the Boks lost in Johannesburg last week, but has recovered in time and takes over from also-injured Kurt-Lee Arendse.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who had missed more than two months due to injury, had a tricky time against the All Blacks at Ellis Park, and was dropped to the bench, but with an injury to Handre Pollard this week in training, he was restored to flyhalf. Manie Libbok will be his bench replacement.
The Boks will be captained by Siya Kolisi, who returns from injury, and was not in the original matchday side either, and was called into the team during the week.
Of Kolisi's return, prop Thomas du Toit said: "It's great to have Siya back.
"He worked really hard on his rehab to get back as quickly as he could, and every time he didn't feel 100% he was big enough to say he wasn't ready, and take an extra week for the medical team to look after him properly.
"That was a very responsible call, not only for the team but for himself too. He's very vocal, especially at training, and that helps a lot because it gives confidence to the younger guys and the entire team."
New Zealand lead the four-Test series 1-0, after a comprehensive 33-16 win in Joburg. Handling errors and penalties were rampant for the Boks, unusually for the World Champions, and Du Toit said the team had taken those learnings on board.
"The important thing was to park that game and take the learnings as quickly as we could," Du Toit said on Thursday.
"I think we've done an incredible job over the last couple of years putting each game in its own box and not looking back at what went wrong the whole week, but rather trying to rectify as much as we can and fix things as quickly as possible.
"By Monday afternoon we had a proper review, and we worked on the things that went wrong on the training field this week."
