South African Rugby Union’s (Saru) Director of Rugby, Rassie Erasmus, has made just two changes to the Springboks starting 15 for Saturday’s second test match against England in Bloemfontein.

Frans Malherbe replaces tighthead prop Wilco Louw who does not feature in the match-day squad of 23, while Pieter-Steph du Toit comes in at flank in place of Jean-Luc du Preez.

Du Preez will be on the replacement bench alongside Jesse Kriel who was preferred ahead of Elton Jantjes.

Loose-head prop, Tendai “Beast” Mtawarira will play in his 100th test match.

The Springboks lead the three-match series after having won the first test 42-39 in Johannesburg last weekend.
