Boks’ ‘bomb squad’ returns for Rugby Championship...

The famous 'bomb squad' is back for the deciding match of the Rugby Championship. The Springboks take on Argentina in Durban on Saturday. Frans Steyn starts at flyhalf for first time since 2008. Pieter-Steph du Toit is recalled to start. Franco Mostert is moved to the bench. Faf de Klerk and Kurt-Lee Arendse are the only backs on the substitutes' bench, while the pack is full of proven players. The Boks need a bonus point victory to have a chance of winning the Championship, if the All Blacks secure a win over the Wallabies in Auckland and the Pumas beat the Bok's.

Boks and Pumas are playing each other in Rugby Championship at King's Park in Durban on Saturday at 17:05. Last year, Argentina won the match 37-25. Nienaber's team won't change the starting line-up, but he made one change because Damian Willemse is out injured. Argentina and Australia are still in the title race. The key to victory for Nier admits is set piece dominance, using opportunities and doing the right things in specific areas of the field. He also mentions that Pieter-Steph will play in his loose forwards.

Springboks team: Willie le Roux, Canan Moodie, Jesse Kriel, Damian de Allende, Makazole Mapimpi, Frans Steyn, Jaden Hendrikse, Jasper Wiese, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Siya Kolisi (captain), Lood de Jager, Eben Etzebeth, Franciscus Malherbe, Malcolm Marx, Steven Kitshoff. Reserves: Bongi Mbonambi and Ox Nche, Vincent Koch, Franco Mostert, Duane Vermeulen, Kwagga Smith, 22 Faf de Klerk, 23 Kurt-Lee Arendse.
