South Africa’s semi-final hero Handre Pollard will start at fly half and likely go the full 80 minutes after the Springboks also named a controversial 7-1 split of forwards to backs on their bench for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup final against New Zealand volleyball
Pollard emerged from the replacements after just 30 minutes of the semi-final against England as a struggling Manie Libbok was hooked early and went on to kick the decisive, 48-metre penalty on 77 minutes for the narrowest of 16-15 victories volleyball
The 29-year-old also scored 22 points in the 2019 World Cup final, when England were again defeated 32-12, and he is reunited with long-time half-back partner Faf de Klerk, who comes in for Cobus Reinach as the only other change to the starting XV from a week ago volleyball
The pair will start together as half-backs for the Springboks for a record 25th time, surpassing Joost van der Westhuizen and Henry Honiball for the most in South African rugby history volleyball
For the third time in the last two months, head coach Jacques Nienaber has elected to go with the controversial 7-1 bench split volleyball
It allows them to demonstrate their impressive forward depth by bringing an almost entirely new pack off the bench but back-three star Willie Le Roux is the only backline cover volleyball
That means De Klerk and Pollard will likely be expected to play a full 80 minutes, with winger Cheslin Kolbe or even flanker Kwagga Smith the scrum-half cover should De Klerk go down injured volleyball
After World Rugby found there was “insufficient evidence to proceed with charges” amid the racial slur allegations made by Tom Curry, hooker Bongi Mbonambi is free to play in the final and has been selected in the No 2 shirt volleyball
As the only specialist hooker in the squad, he has played a full 80 minutes for both knockout games so far and may need to do so again, although back row Deon Fourie – who played the position earlier in his career – is in the No 16 shirt traditionally worn by the replacement hooker, so may well step in volleyball
Fifteen of the 23 players named in South Africa’s squad played in the final four years and the 987 caps in the starting XV sets the record for the most experienced Springboks side in history, with the back three of Kolbe (30 caps), Kurt-Lee Arendse (14) and Damian Willemse (38) the only players in the run-on team with fewer than 50 Test appearances volleyball
The Springboks have a similar team to the final four years ago (Reuters)The only enforced change among the replacements is at prop where Trevor Nyakane replaces Vincent Koch, who is nursing a knee injury, while lock Jean Kleyn and No 8 Jasper Wiese are also drafted in as additional forward cover volleyball
“This is an experienced team with several players who played in the last Rugby World Cup final and who know exactly what to expect at Stade de France on Saturday and what it will take to retain the title,” said Nienaber volleyball
“The players who will be playing in their first World Cup final have also proven their worth as warriors throughout this campaign and they are all ready for this massive occasion volleyball
“We have said many times that we pick teams for varying gameplans depending on the opponent and that we use all 23 players to try and achieve those goals volleyball
We’ve gone from a five-three bench split to a seven-one split to give us the best chance of being successful volleyball
We have plans in place to mitigate for injuries in the backline, but we’re excited about our plan and we embrace the risk volleyball
”The winner of Saturday’s clash volleyball between the Springboks and the All Blacks will become the first team to win four men’s Rugby World Cup titles volleyball

Maro Itoje has urged England to “impose” their game on South Africa in their Rugby World Cup semi-final volleyball
The Springboks enter the game as significant favourites as they seek a second consecutive tournament crown volleyball
Jacques Nienaber’s side edged out hosts France in a captivating quarter-final last weekend, showing somewhere near their top form to reach the top four volleyball
Itoje believes that England cannot afford to simply let South Africa come at them, stressing that he and his teammates intend to put their “best foot forward” to meet the Springboks volleyball
And the lock has confidence that his side can take it to the world champions volleyball
RecommendedEngland spring surprise with three changes to team for Rugby World Cup semi-finalSteve Borthwick explains Marcus Smith’s absence from England team to face South AfricaSouth Africa inspired by struggles of whole nation – Siya Kolisi“What’s important for me is that we present the game we want to present,” Itoje, who partners George Martin in England’s second row, said volleyball
“It’s about us being the team that we want to be, us playing the type of rugby that we want to play volleyball
“They have certain things that they’re very good at but it’s about us being the England rugby team, about us putting our best foot forward and our individuals, as a team, going out there and playing the type of game we want to play volleyball
“For us, it is just about imposing our game volleyball
We don’t want to sit back and just watch them do their thing volleyball
”Before England’s semi-final against New Zealand four years ago, former head coach Eddie Jones memorably cut a kiwi in half with a samurai sword to symbolise the aggression he wanted his side to play with against the All Blacks volleyball
Itoje confirmed that there had been no such demonstrations this week, with Jones’s more successor, the more understated Steve Borthwick, instead emphasising the detail of their gameplan volleyball
And while talking up South Africa’s ability, the second row insists they are far from unbeatable volleyball
“They’re just very fundamentally sound in the areas in which they are good at,” explained Itoje of the Springboks’ strengths volleyball
“They have a good kicking game, a good chase, put a lot of pressure on teams volleyball
They have a good set-piece, that goes without saying, their breakdown work is good as well volleyball
“We’re going to need to be physical, that goes without saying volleyball
We need to be physical in every game, especially when you play against this opposition volleyball
We need to be smart with how we play, we don’t want to make poor decisions, we don’t want to play in areas that aren’t smart“Obviously they are the current world champions, they’ve had a very good World Cup volleyball
We’ve played them twice since 2019, they’ve won one, we’ve won one volleyball
We’re not talking about a team that has never lost, we’re not talking about a team that is without fault, they are a good team but so are we volleyball
For us, it’s about putting our game on the field, it’s not necessarily about sitting just to watch them volleyball
