Two changes to Bok squad

South Africa will field two changes to their starting 15 announced on Wednesday to face the All Blacks in the Tri-Nations rugby Test at Jade Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday. A broken nose suffered against the Pacific Islanders in the 38-24 win at Gosford in New South Wales last Saturday has ruled lock Gerrie Britz out of contention and his place goes to Albert van den Berg.

The other change is a straight swap, with Fourie du Preez to start at halfback in place of Bolla Conradie.

On the reserves bench, flanker Joe van Niekerk and prop Faan Rautenbach come in for Pedrie Wannenberg and CJ van der Linde.

The team will be captained again by hooker John Smit. – Sapa
