De Allende and Etzebeth start against Pumas

Rassie has made minor changes to the team that walloped the All Blacks in Wellington. Damian Willemse moves to full back, Damian de Allende starts at inside centre, Eben Etzebeth replaces the injured Lood de Jager. Jan-Hendrik Wessels move to cover hooker, Boan Venter comes onto the bench. Morne van den Berg replaces Grant Williams (out with a niggle) as scrumhalf cover.

The Pumas have managed to beat the Boks in Durban before, and having wins against the All Blacks and Australia will have a lot of confidence coming into the game. The loser of this match very likely will drop out of contention to win the RC.
