Canan Moodie will start at outside centre for the Springboks when they tackle the All Blacks in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match at Twickenham on Friday night.
Moodie, who was man-of-the-match in last Saturday's 52-16 win over Wales in Cardiff, moves from wing to midfield in place of Jesse Kriel.
In the backline, Faf de Klerk starts at scrumhalf to partner Manie Libbok at halfback. Makazole Mapimpi and Kurt-Lee Arendse are named on the left and right wings respectively, with Damian Willemse starting at fullback. "In the last five matches we've given everyone, with the exception of the injured players, valuable game time, which is vital going into the World Cup, and we are satisfied with the way we have been building as a team.
"The All Blacks will provide a different challenge to Wales, and we believe this group of players is the right mix for this match," the coach said.
