Stormers No 10 Manie Libbok will earn a first Springbok cap if he comes off the bench in Saturday’s Test against France in Marseille.
Libbok has earned a first Bok call-up and is expected to get some game-time with Bok coach Jacques Nienaber retaining Damian Willemse at No 10.
The Boks go into the match on the back of a 19-16 defeat by Ireland in Dublin last Saturday.
Other notable selections include Cheslin Kolbe moving back to wing from fullback, with Willie le Roux back in the No 15 jersey. Kurt-Lee Arendse has also retained his place in the starting team, with Makazole Mapimpi shifting to the bench.
Faf de Klerk also starts at scrumhalf again, while in the forwards Franco Mostert replaces the injured Lood de Jager at lock, while in the front row Ox Nche is in for Steven Kitshoff. Bongi Mbonambi has also moved back into the starting team, with Malcolm Marx moving to the bench.
In a new-look bench, Marvin Orie comes in ass lock cover, while Cobus Reinach is also back in the Bok mix.
