Watch every second of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry live and on demand via Stan Sport.<\/a><\/p>\nDamian Willemse returns from injury to take over from Cheslin Kolbe at fullback after the latter fractured his jaw \u200cin last Saturday’s \u200c29-24 victory \u2060in Soweto.<\/p>\n
Morne van den Berg is elevated from \u200bthe bench to start at scrumhalf, with Cobus Reinach taking his place among the replacements.<\/p>\n
Erasmus has otherwise stuck with the same match-day 23 that did duty in the last Test.<\/p>\n
“We feel that the team is \u200bwell settled and all the players delivered in their respective roles in the last two matches, so we believe selecting the same matchday \u200bsquad, \u200band naming Damian back in \u200bhis regular position, makes sense for the \u200cclosing match of the series,” said Erasmus.<\/p>\n
“These players also know exactly what to expect from a very determined All Blacks team, who will give everything to draw the series this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Willemse suffered a hamstring problem in the second test and Erasmus said: “It’s good to have (Willemse) back. He knows the guys around him very well, so it will simply be a matter of him picking up where he left off before last week.”<\/p>\n
As for the No. 9 jersey, Erasmus rewarded Van den Berg for “a fantastic impact” off the bench.<\/p>\n
“He deserves a chance to start,” the coach added.<\/p>\n
