South Africa rip up team to play Wales as 14 changes made and six uncapped players named

South Africa have changed almost their entire starting XV for the second Test against Wales in Bloemfontein this weekend.

Towering lock Eben Etzebeth is the only man to keep his place as head coach Jacques Nienaber makes 14 changes to the run-on side that scraped through in a dramatic 32-29 victory at Loftus Versfeld.

The entire backline has been ripped up with Kurt-Lee Arendse, one of two debutants starting the match, joins Warrick Gelant and Aphelele Fassi in the back three, while the experienced Jesse Kriel partners Harlequins’ Andre Esterhuizen in a new-look midfield.
