Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber made two injury-enforced changes to his matchday squad for their final Castle Lager Rugby Championship clash against the All Blacks in Gold Coast, with Ox Nché
earning a starting berth and Jasper Wiese being drafted in among the replacements.
Nché will start at loosehead prop with Trevor Nyakane switching to tighthead after Frans Malherbe was ruled out of selection due to a neck niggle, while Wiese takes over from Marco van Staden,
who suffered a shoulder injury in the latter stages of last week’s 19-17 defeat against the All Blacks in Townsville.
Cheslin Kolbe, who missed the team’s first two matches against the Wallabies and last week’s outing against the All Blacks due to a leg injury, trained with the team on Monday and Tuesday, but
he was unable to complete the last training session, which dashed his hopes of making a comeback.
The match at the CBUS Super Stadium kicks off at 20h05 (09h05 SA time) and will be broadcast live on SuperSport.
“We made a big step-up in terms of our performance last week and having reviewed the match, there is no doubt we delivered a performance worthy of a victory,” said Nienaber.
“With that in mind we opted for continuity in our team, so the only change in the run-on side is Ox taking over in the front row after Frans was ruled out.
“Trevor is a seasoned campaigner who is equally comfortable at loosehead and tighthead prop, and Ox is a strong scrummager, so we are looking forward to seeing what they can do in the scrums.
“Cheslin would have started the match if he made a full recovery from the leg injury which has kept him out since the beginning of our Australian tour, but unfortunately his injury flared up
during the latter stages of Tuesday’s field session, so we could not select him.
“On the bench, Jasper takes over from Marco, and we are fortunate in that they are similar in terms of their physicality and strong ball-carrying abilities.”
Nienaber stressed the importance of turning the corner after three successive defeats on tour and said the entire squad was aligned in terms of what their roles were to steer the team to a much-needed
win.
“We are bitterly disappointed about the results in the last few weeks and everyone in our team realises the importance of finishing the Castle Lager Rugby Championship on a winning note,” said
Nienaber.
“Every member of squad will have a role to play in ensuring that the players on the field are at their best on match-day, and we have no doubt that if we can build on the strong points of our
game last week and improve further on the execution of our game plan, we can get the desired result.
“We know it is going to take a colossal 80-minute effort, but the drive to succeed and motivation to win this weekend is as big as it gets.
“Last week we stuck to our DNA and style of play, and with a little more luck we could have come away with the result, so we need to ensure that we are better at it this week.
“We are ready for this challenge mentally and physically and we know what we are capable of as a team, so we’ll go out there and give everything we have.”
Matthew Carley (England) has been appointed the match referee with Australia’s Damon Murphy and
Jordan Way (Australia) serving as assistant referees, and their compatriot
Brett Cronan (Australia) is on TMO duty.

Laas nwk was ons kans om te wen. Ek dink nie hulle kan twee games in 'n ry "up for it" wees nie. AB's met 30+

Ons wedstryd bestuur was baie swak, daar waar ons voor was en skrum voordeel vir ons, toe skop Pollard die bal dwars oor die veld...lank laas so groot oordeelsfout gesien, het ons verseker die wedstryd gekos. Maar ook met minder as 2 minute om te gaan, skop die skrummie Jantjies 'n up and under...goeiste, dis die tyd om die bal te hou en punte te probeer maak

Stem patteties om bal weg te skop en Faf ook met ses minute om te gaan skop bal weg nadat Marco skitterende breek gevat het. Net na daai skop kry ABs toe penalty wat wedstryd gewen het

Ja mens moet net wonder.. Ek weet hulle speel onder instruksie van die coaches, maar wragtag partykeer kan hulle ook seker vir hulleself dink en eie besluite maak? Of is dit taboe deesdae?
Laat my dink aan die Harry Viljoen dae toe hul nouweer gladnie mag skop nie

Met Ox op loskop en Trevor op vaskop is die span kwesbaar in die skrums, sal Saterdag sien of ek verkeerd is

Jammer om te sê, maar lyk of jou stelling dan van 'n paar weke terug toe nie akkuraat was nie as Ox dan hier begin. Ek glo hierdie is 2 goeie stutte met Mbonambi as die weakness soos gewoonlik. Hopelik bewys hulle my reg. Only time will tell.

Ek wou die hare uit my kop trek met albei daai insidente. Veral Pollard het 'n baie swak jaar dusver. Sy verdediging is swak, doelskoppe nie baie akkuraat en sy game management/besluitneming is pateties.

Jy het seker gesien dat Ox begin omdat Frans Malherbe beseer is?

Ek het, maar jou stelling was dat hy nie weer teen Aus of NZ gaan speel nie, maar nou ja nou is hy in die beginspan en nie net op die bank nie...

As dit Jantjies was wat sulke foute bly maak en ons 'n paar wedstryde kos sou mense mal gegaan het. Maar almal is tjoepstil oor Pollard..

Ja dit is nogals snaaks hoe selektief mense foute sien, is maar die ou storie. Wat sou dit vir ons beteken het as ons die eerste Aus game gewen het bv.?
Ek glo wel wat nou gebeur het baie goed is, of hulle nou wil of nie wil nie, hulle gaan hulle plannetjies en spel moet aanpas. Hoe langer hulle aanhou met hierdie storie, hoe meer pakslae gaan ons op die jaareind toer kry.

Ek dink die huidge taktiek sal dalk meer effektief wees in en teen die die noordelike halfrond spanne. Maar hulle moet kan aanpas vir Aus en NZ waar dit nie werk nie.

Stem. Opmerklik dat die laaste 2 werelbeker toernooie wat ons gewen het, meestal teen noordel halfrond spanne was. NZ en tot 'n mindere mate Australia, weet hoe om ons sterk punte te neutraliseer.

Behalwe die spelpatroon dink ek was/is daar ook n verandering nodig in speler attitude. Faf de Klerk is deesdae meer geïnteresseerd om sy hare uit sy oe te vee na hy weer aan n groot speler gaan stamp het wat hy weet hom nie kan m#$r nie agv al die kameras. Willie le Roux hol soos n Jack Russel reuntjie op die bal af elke liewe keer as daar n strafskop is of lyk of hy wil huil as iets nie werk nie. Frans Malherbe skrum sterk maar dis omtrent dit. Dis asof daar so paar ego's is wat net bietjie moet bedaar...

Die ander ding van Willie wat my irriteer is hoe hy ander spelers rondom hom uitkak nadat hy 'n fout gemaak het.

Wanneer laas het Willie actually die verdedigings lyn gebreek, iemand in spasie gesit of selfs 'n drie gedruk?

Dis nie die spelers nie. Die game plan is die probleem. Dis Heyneke se game plan. Dit werk net as die ander span swak speel.
Help nie om box kicks te doen as jy heeltyd overlaps het nie.
