With first choice eighthman Jasper Wiese’s suspension having come to an end, it will be interesting to see if he slots straight in to start against the All Blacks

Thanks to two bonus point wins over the Wallabies Down Under, coupled with the All Blacks slipping up in their Rugby Championship opener against Argentina, before bouncing back in the second game, the Boks top the table on 10 points ahead of the All Blacks in second on five points.
