While Libbok is a wonderful attacking player, who seems to get the best out of his backs, there are question marks about his goal-kicking, so it will be interesting to see who kicks at goal on Saturday. The other option is Cheslin Kolbe. Eben Etzebeth has been the constant at No 4 and on Saturday he’ll be joined by the equally explosive Snyman in another changed Bok lock pairing.The Bulls man, who is regarded as the best scrummager in the United Rugby Championship, didn’t even make the initial tour squad, but got called up when Jan-Hendrik Wessels went down with an injury before the tour.
