Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has made wholesale changes to the team for the second Rugby Championship Test against Argentina in Gqeberha on Saturday. Lock Lood de Jager will run out for his 50th cap, while his second row partner Marvin Orie will earn his first Test start and the uncapped Nicolaas Janse van Rensburg has been named on the bench. In total, the match-23 shows 17 changes from the squad that beat the Pumas 32-12 in the opening match last Saturday. The only players who will start again this weekend are De Jager (lock), Siya Kolisi (captain and flank), Jasper Wiese (No 8), and Cobus Reinach (scrumhalf). Zoning in on the fixture, Nienaber said they are expecting Argentina to come out firing this week.
