SOUTH AFRICA’S Canan Moodie is set to make his first Test start in midfield after the wing was named at outside centre in a team to play New Zealand in a World Cup warm-up at Twickenham on Friday.
Makazole Mapimpi, a try-scorer in South Africa’s 2019 World Cup final win over England in Japan, and Kurt-Lee Arendse have been named on the left and right wings respectively, with Damian Willemse starting at full-back. World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi, who played the whole of the first half against Wales in his first match back following a partial tear of his anterior cruciate ligament in April, will again lead the Springboks.The Springboks were caught cold when they last played the All Blacks in July, with New Zealand racing into an early 17-0 lead before winning 35-20 in Auckland.
“We took the lessons from that match, and we’ve built good momentum since, so this will be a fantastic test before we enter our Rugby World Cup campaign.”
