Re-jigged All Blacks focus on set-piece and tempo to silence Springboks in Cape Town

All Blacks coach Dave Rennie addresses the media at The Vineyard Hotel on Thursday.

All Blacks coach Dave Rennie expects “an absolute arm wrestle” when his side faces a fired-up Springbok team looking for revenge in the second Test of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry at DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Saturday.

Rennie has made six changes to the matchday 23 that shocked the Boks 33-16 last week at Ellis Park.

There are three changes in the starting XV, with Leroy Carter replacing Josh Moorby on the left wing, Simon Parker coming in at blindside flank, and George Bower promoted from the bench at loosehead prop.

Moorby drops to the bench, while Tupou Vaa’i shifts from blindside flank to No. 5 lock alongside Fabian Holland. Bower, who made a big impact off the bench at Ellis Park, takes over from the concussed Ethan de Groot in the No. 1 jersey.
