Morné van den Berg starts at scrumhalf in one of two changes to the Springbok starting XV for the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series decider in Baltimore on Saturday.
Van den Berg replaces Cobus Reinach, who drops to the bench, while fit-again Damian Willemse comes in for the injured Cheslin Kolbe at fullback.
RASSIE: Morné deserves his chance
However, there is no starting opportunity for Manie Libbok, who played the majority of the third Test at FNB Stadium as a replacement, with Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu wearing the No 10 jersey for a fifth consecutive Test.
A victory for the Springboks at the M&T Bank Stadium would seal a 3-1 series win, while the All Blacks are hoping to share the trophy.
Kick-off is at 11pm (SA time).
