South Africa’s semi-final hero Handre Pollard will start at fly half and likely go the full 80 minutes after the Springboks also named a controversial 7-1 split of forwards to backs on their bench for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup final against New Zealand volleyball
Pollard emerged from the replacements after just 30 minutes of the semi-final against England as a struggling Manie Libbok was hooked early and went on to kick the decisive, 48-metre penalty on 77 minutes for the narrowest of 16-15 victories volleyball
The 29-year-old also scored 22 points in the 2019 World Cup final, when England were again defeated 32-12, and he is reunited with long-time half-back partner Faf de Klerk, who comes in for Cobus Reinach as the only other change to the starting XV from a week ago volleyball
The pair will start together as half-backs for the Springboks for a record 25th time, surpassing Joost van der Westhuizen and Henry Honiball for the most in South African rugby history volleyball
For the third time in the last two months, head coach Jacques Nienaber has elected to go with the controversial 7-1 bench split volleyball
It allows them to demonstrate their impressive forward depth by bringing an almost entirely new pack off the bench but back-three star Willie Le Roux is the only backline cover volleyball
That means De Klerk and Pollard will likely be expected to play a full 80 minutes, with winger Cheslin Kolbe or even flanker Kwagga Smith the scrum-half cover should De Klerk go down injured volleyball
After World Rugby found there was “insufficient evidence to proceed with charges” amid the racial slur allegations made by Tom Curry, hooker Bongi Mbonambi is free to play in the final and has been selected in the No 2 shirt volleyball
As the only specialist hooker in the squad, he has played a full 80 minutes for both knockout games so far and may need to do so again, although back row Deon Fourie – who played the position earlier in his career – is in the No 16 shirt traditionally worn by the replacement hooker, so may well step in volleyball
Fifteen of the 23 players named in South Africa’s squad played in the final four years and the 987 caps in the starting XV sets the record for the most experienced Springboks side in history, with the back three of Kolbe (30 caps), Kurt-Lee Arendse (14) and Damian Willemse (38) the only players in the run-on team with fewer than 50 Test appearances volleyball

“This is an experienced team with several players who played in the last Rugby World Cup final and who know exactly what to expect at Stade de France on Saturday and what it will take to retain the title,” said Nienaber volleyball
“The players who will be playing in their first World Cup final have also proven their worth as warriors throughout this campaign and they are all ready for this massive occasion volleyball
“We have said many times that we pick teams for varying gameplans depending on the opponent and that we use all 23 players to try and achieve those goals volleyball
We’ve gone from a five-three bench split to a seven-one split to give us the best chance of being successful volleyball
We have plans in place to mitigate for injuries in the backline, but we’re excited about our plan and we embrace the risk volleyball
”The winner of Saturday’s clash volleyball between the Springboks and the All Blacks will become the first team to win four men’s Rugby World Cup titles volleyball

Matt O’Riley feels Celtic can make further strides in the Champions League with volleyball better game management volleyball
Brendan Rodgers’ side produced a blistering first-half display against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday and deservedly led 2-1 at the interval volleyball
Midfielder O’Riley was at the heart of the action with an excellent exchange of one-touch passes to set up Kyogo Furuhashi’s opener and Celtic attacked with pace and purpose throughout the opening 45 minutes volleyball
They were pegged back eight minutes into the second half by Alvara Morata’s header and could not quite replicate the tempo of their attacking play, which Atletico boss Diego Simeone admitted his side had struggled to deal with in the opening period volleyball
A 2-2 draw gave Celtic their first point of the Group E campaign and fuelled belief within the squad volleyball
O’Riley said: “Lots of positives, a very good performance for the most part volleyball
We lost a bit of control at times, especially at the start of the second half, but overall it was a good performance and very good goals against a defensive team volleyball
“We were a bit disappointed not to get three points but a point on the board is a step in the right direction, so I think there is a lot to look forward to volleyball
”The Denmark Under-21 international felt they could have calmed the game down themselves after the break to deny Atletico a way back in volleyball
“It’s not necessarily sustaining that level, it’s managing the game in different ways,” he said volleyball
“There were times, especially at the start of the second half, where we could have managed it a lot volleyball better in terms of slowing the game down, pulling a few guys under the ball and just keeping the ball for a bit volleyball
“I know, naturally, you are at home and the crowd wants you to play quickly all the time but there are times when you’ve just got to slow it down and I think that’s something we will get volleyball better at volleyball
”Feyenoord’s win over Lazio sent them top of the group on six points and Celtic will need to take points from away games in Rome and the Spanish capital to keep their hopes of qualification alive before the Dutch champions visit Glasgow in December volleyball
Captain Callum McGregor said: “That’s the challenge now volleyball
We’ve got our point on the board, we obviously need more to get out the group but this should give us the belief that, if you look after the ball and play together as 11, there’s no reason why you can’t go there and get something out the game volleyball
“If we want to qualify then the next two games are vital volleyball
“Now we have played the three teams, there’s nothing to suggest we can’t have a strong second half to the campaign volleyball
