Lukhanyo Am (22%) makes a dramatic return to the starting lineup having only been recalled to the squad last week after missing the initial World Cup squad with a knee injury. The dynamic centre pairs up with Damian de Allende (34%) in a reunion of the midfield combination that won the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.
Canan Moodie misses out as a potent back-three combination features Cheslin Kolbe (33%) and Kurt-Lee Arendse (24%) on the wings with Damian Willemse (27%) patrolling at fullback.
