Overview

• New Zealand restore Scott Barrett as captain, recall Leicester Fainga'anuku and start Damian McKenzie at fly-half after injuries to Beauden Barrett, Ethan de Groot, Tyrel Lomax and Caleb Clarke.
• Australia make five changes for the sold-out Perth test, bringing back Will Skelton and Jake Gordon, starting Tane Edmed at 10 and benching James O'Connor, with James Slipper set for his 151st and final test.
• Argentina name seven changes and hand rookie Gerónimo Prisciantelli the No. 10 shirt for the Twickenham clash they elected to stage in London.
• The table is South Africa 15 points, New Zealand 14, Australia 11, with the All Blacks able to take the title if they win in Perth and the Springboks fail to beat Argentina, while Australia stay alive only with a win and a Pumas upset.
• South Africa retain continuity from the Durban rout, reintroducing Ox Nche to the front row as Rassie Erasmus backs a settled squad for the decider.
