Overview

• Rassie Erasmus named one change to the starting XV, with loosehead prop Ox Nche restored after missing the Durban win with a niggle.
• The bench is refreshed as Bongi Mbonambi, Grant Williams and Jesse Kriel come in, with South Africa retaining a 5–3 forwards-to-backs split.
• South Africa lead New Zealand by one point and will know the exact target after All Blacks–Wallabies in Perth, though a bonus-point win guarantees the trophy.
• Lood de Jager rejoined the squad in London after Franco Mostert withdrew due to a family bereavement, with Erasmus citing De Jager’s fitness and leadership.
• Kick-off at Twickenham is Saturday, 4 October at 2pm BST, following a 67-30 victory in Durban where Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu set a Springboks points record with 37.
