pollard and le roux add experience to bok backline

Handr Pollard and Willie le Roux will have the kicking and attacking responsibilities tomorrow in Cape Town as the Springboks prepare for a different clash against the hurting All Blacks.

Its an all-important second Rugby Championship Test between the two sides, and after winning 31-27 last weekend in Johannesburg, the world champions will hope to clinch the second one at a venue where they havent had the desired success against the Kiwis in the past.

Bok coach Rassie Erasmus again surprised with the seven changes he made and continues to stay unpredictable with his team selections in a match week.

Even though he mixed things up, a total of 13 players running out tomorrow at Cape Town Stadium (5pm kick-off) played in last years World Cup final against the New Zealanders, so they will know what to expect.

Captain Siya Kolisi was also passed fit and will lead the side after recovering from a facial injury sustained last weekend at Ellis Park. Erasmus explained his thoughts about the selection switches and what they are looking for from the team tomorrow afternoon.
