Kolisi leads a starting team sporting five changes from the one that klapped Japan 61-7 at Wembley last week, as rookie loosehead prop Boan Venter was picked to replace the injured Ox Nche with Thomas du Toit in at tighthead, as Wilco Louw moves to the replacements bench.

At lock, Eben Etzebeth replaces RG Snyman (benched) as Lood de Jager retained his spot in the second row, while Pieter-Steph du Toit reclaims his No.7 jersey as Franco Mostert drops out of the matchday squad.
