Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber names the squad to face the British and Irish Lions in the second Test BraMahlatse

Two of these changes are in the front-row where prop Steven Kitshoff‚ who made his Test debut against Ireland in 2016‚ will earn his 50th Test cap next to Frans Malherbe and Bongi Mbonambi in a new-look combination for the hosts.

Nienaber opted for a six-two split on the bench‚ which sees Nyakane and Vincent Koch provide cover at prop‚ Marco van Staden taking over over from Rynhardt Elstadt as loose forward cover along with Kwagga Smith and Herschel Jantjies and Damian Willemse supporting the backline. “Ox did well in the scrums last week and has been ruled out due to injury‚ but fortunately we have a world class player in Steven who can step into the starting team. The fact that this will mark his 50th Test will make this occasion even more important for him.
