Siya Kolisi returns from an injury to lead a jumping boks team full of familiar faces – and some new ones. It is a completely fresh first row that Rassie Erasmus was selected with three debutants of the starting team, the neethling Fouche of the Stormers, which was contributed by Edinburghs Boan Venter and Scarlet’s Hooker Marnus van der Merwe, in the tasting of her first international action.
Cobus Wiese is surprisingly used at No. 8, with brother Jasper serves a suspension after his red card against Italy, while Sacha Feinberg-Mngomenzulu occurs at the Fly half. As always, the bank is full of talent, with seven double World Cup winners, which are summarized by Star Bath Prop Thomas du Toit.
Georgia only changes one change in the homepage that has lost through Ireland. Ilia Spanderashvili preferred Tonrike Jalagonia in No. 8. Jalagonia is part of a bank that includes six strikers.
