South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus has made one change to his matchday ‌23 for the third Test of the series against New Zealand in Johannesburg on Saturday, live on Sky Sports.

The change comes due to Damien Willemse being sidelined through injury. That means Cheslin Kolbe ‌moves from winger to fullback and Kurt-Lee Arendse comes into ​the squad to take the place of Kolbe on the edge.

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu will once again start at fly-half with Manie Libbok on the bench. Handre Pollard continues to be ruled out due to a calf problem.

Captain Siya Kolisi starts the third Test after his return from a hamstring issue and makes up the back row with Pieter-Steph du Toit and Jasper Wiese.

Meanwhile, Eben Etzebeth will make his 145th appearance for the Springboks at lock, extending his record as the most capped South Africa player ever.

The front row is then make up of hooker Malcolm Marx and props Ox ⁠Nche and Wilco Louw.

"It was ​always our plan to have a little more continuity ​in player combinations for this series and we thought that the ​players who did the job for us last week really showed composure ⁠and did well to stick to the plan and what we wanted to achieve last week," said Erasmus.

South Africa roared back into Rugby's Greatest Rivalry as returning captain Kolisi marked his comeback with a try in a thrilling 33-26 victory over New Zealand in Cape Town, levelling the four-Test series at 1-1.
