Injury-hit Springboks start Damian Willemse at 10, Canan Moodie in line for debut

A string of injuries to key personnel has forced Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber to ring the changes following his side's recent loss to the Wallabies on Saturday.

New faces have been brought into the squad, while there have been several rotations to the side that lost 25-17 in Adelaide.

The 5-3 forwards-backs bench split has been retained. 

Handre Pollard, Lukhanyo Am and Pieter-Steph du Toit were all ruled out due to knee injuries, while Elton Jantjies injured his hand and was not available for selection this weekend.

Steven Kitshoff will start at loosehead prop alongside hooker Malcolm Marx and tighthead prop Frans Marlherbe.

Nienaber has also reshuffled his loose trio with captain Siya Kolisi partnering Franco Mostert and Jasper Wiese.

The Bok backline will also see several changes this weekend as Jaden Hendrickse starts at No 9, Damian Willemse will do duty at 10 and Jesse Kriel at outside centre.

Nineteen-year-old Canan Moodie is in line to make his Test debut and will become the fourth player to occupy the position since the start of the Rugby Championship.

More changes have been made to the bench as Deon Fourie, Trevor Nyakane and Cobus Reinach all come in to join Ox Nche, Duane Vermeulen, Kwagga Smith, Frans Steyn and Warrick Gelant.
