With a wet Cape Town Test awaiting, Handré Pollard must step up and direct the Springbok pack to ensure forward dominance translates into scoreboard pressure.

South Africa have changed their half-backs for the second Test against New Zealand on Saturday in Cape Town, promoting experienced duo Handre Pollard and Cobus Reinach.

Cobus Reinach admits the All Blacks forced the Springboks into mistakes at crucial moments, but says the focus is now firmly on improving ahead of the next Test on Saturday.
