Jacques Nienaber has opted for a 7-1 break up on the bench in opposition to the All Blacks. Faf de Klerk and Handre Pollard slot again into the beginning XV with Manie Libbok cruelly lacking out on the matchday 23 altogether. The choice to omit Libbok and go for the 7-1 break up would definitely have been made simpler by the weatherman. 13-knot winds and rain all week main as much as and on the day of the ultimate.

Count on a forward-based attritional battle with Faf de Klerk to do loads of kicking from the bottom of the ruck with heaps of rain anticipated in Paris on Saturday night.
