South Africa have selected brothers Jaden and Jordan Hendrikse to start their final autumn international clash with ailing Wales in Cardiff on Saturday, the first time the siblings will play together for the Springboks.

Scrumhalf Jaden is already a Rugby World Cup winner after helping South Africa to the trophy in France last year, but flyhalf Jordan earns a third test cap having debuted against Wales at Twickenham in June.
