South Africa has made significant changes to their lineup ahead of the crucial second Test against New Zealand in Cape Town. With just days to go, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Cheslin Kolbe are set to take starting positions.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu steps in for Handre Pollard, who sustained an injury during training on Wednesday. Initially dropped to the bench, Feinberg-Mngomezulu will now don the No. 10 jersey for the match.

Meanwhile, Kolbe, who had been sidelined with a minor injury, has been declared fit to replace Kurt-Lee Arendse on the right wing. Manie Libbok joins the bench as backline cover, added by coach Rassie Erasmus.

The Springboks are under pressure after suffering a 33-16 defeat against the All Blacks in the first Test, which ended their impressive 12-match winning streak. A victory this weekend is essential for South Africa to keep their hopes alive in the series.

Upcoming fixtures include encounters in Johannesburg and Baltimore following this weekend's match at the Cape Town Stadium.
