It was this reason that Erasmus decided to have a fresh, first choice side in New Zealand for the Test.There's big expectation each time the Boks play New Zealand and I guess when people look at the team we picked for Australia, there could've been misinterpretation that we disrespected Australia and more about respecting New Zealand because you can't fly here on a Tuesday, have one training session and think you'll do well,” Erasmus said.
With the likes of Frans Malherbe, Malcolm Marx, Franco Mostert, Steven Kitshoff and captain Duane Vermeulen it will be a Springbok side that features only two forwards - in Eben Etzebeth and Pieter-Steph du Toit - from the team that started last week's Test against Australia at Ellis Park.
