Rugby-South Africa make one change to squad for third test v New Zealand

South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus has made a single, ​injury-enforced change to his match-day 23 for the ​third test in the Rugby’s Greatest ‌Rivalry ​series against New Zealand at the 94,500-seater Soccer City in Johannesburg on Saturday. The Springboks edged a brutal second test 33-26 in Cape Town to square the ‌four-match series at 1-1, but there is no rest for his battered and bruised players as he has opted for continuity against the All Blacks.
