ICYMI – We weren’t ruthless enough
Ox Nche, Bongi Mbonambi and Vincent Koch form an all-international front row, with the most capped-ever Bok, Etzebeth, packing in behind them, where he partners with Emile van Heerden in the second row.
Back from his stint in France, Bok skipper Kolisi will link up with fellow loose forwards Emmanuel Tshituka and Phepsi Buthelezi.
Siblings Jaden and Jordan Hendrikse feature as the halfback pairing, while Makazole Mapimpi returns at left wing, along with outside centre Lukhanyo Am and fullback Aphelele Fassi.
