Springboks team: Winners and losers as Rassie Erasmus sticks to his word while ‘slandered’ half-back is rewarded after Soweto heroics

Following the announcement of Rassie Erasmus’ Springboks team for the final Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Test match against the All Blacks, here are our winners and losers.

The Boks head coach has stuck with the winning formula from the past two encounters with New Zealand, making just two changes to the starting XV that beat Dave Rennie’s men at the FNB Stadium in Soweto last weekend. One of those changes has been injury-enforced, with the other being a straight swap of jerseys.

So without further ado, here are our winners and losers from Erasmus selections.
