Both coaches have named their squads for the upcoming clash between world rugby titans New Zealand and South Africa in the Rugby Championship.

Notably, Siya Kolisi has been relieved of his captaining duties for this contest. Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus put it up to his recent absence, saying he had chosen Jesse Kriel as his captain before Kolisi's return from an injury.
