Damian de Allende to earn 100th Test cap for South Africa
Damian de Allende is set to become the 10th player in history to earn 100 Test caps for South Africa. He will reach this milestone this Saturday when the Springboks face the All Blacks in Johannesburg during the inaugural Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry.
Coach Rassie Erasmus has announced a revised starting lineup for the match. Notably, regular captain Siya Kolisi will be rested to manage his workload, with Pieter-Steph du Toit named as captain and Paul de Villiers stepping into the scrum.
Other key changes include Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu starting at flyhalf and the return of Ox Nche to the front line following an injury. The Springboks squad features a mix of players from the recent series against Argentina and those returning from injury.
