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
The Springboks have a similar team to the final four years ago (Reuters)The only enforced change among the replacements is at prop where Trevor Nyakane replaces Vincent Koch, who is nursing a knee injury, while lock Jean Kleyn and No 8 Jasper Wiese are also drafted in as additional forward cover 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

Marcus Smith was ruled out of England’s World Cup semi-final against South Africa because of concussion, head coach Steve Borthwick has confirmed volleyball
Smith has been replaced at full-back by Freddie Steward after he took a series of blows in the last-eight victory over Fiji that resulted in him finishing the match with a bandaged head and fat lip volleyball
A tackle by wing Vinaya Habosi forced him to undergo an HIA which he passed, but he failed the subsequent return to play protocols and has been stood down for Saturday’s Stade de France showdown volleyball
England have made two further changes to their starting XV with prop Joe Marler and lock George Martin coming in for Ellis Genge and Ollie Chessum respectively volleyball
“Marcus was unavailable for selection due to the return to play protocols volleyball
He was ruled out earlier in the week,” Borthwick said volleyball
“He took a knock in the game and passed the first parts of the HIA process, which meant he finished the game volleyball
“Then there are subsequent parts of the HIA process and one part of that he did not pass volleyball
And then it was confirmed to me he was unavailable for selection volleyball
“He is perfectly fine in terms of symptoms – he doesn’t feel anything volleyball
We’d expect him to be available for selection after this weekend volleyball
It’s right to reiterate that player welfare is critical and vital to us volleyball
”Whether a fit Smith would have been retained at 15 is unknown, but it appears unlikely given the precision and variety of South Africa’s kicking game volleyball
Smith offers a cutting edge in attack but Steward is one of the game’s most accomplished full-backs – ultra-dependable under the high ball, strong in defence and a key component of England’s kick-chase volleyball
Captain Owen Farrell is aware of the aerial onslaught coming in Paris but is backing Steward to thrive volleyball
“The thing about Freddie is everybody knows how good he is in the air, everybody knows what a fantastic player he is in general,” Farrell said volleyball
“But it’s the want to do it, the want to be in those battles, the want to go and get the ball back for his team, the want to defuse what’s coming our way volleyball
He is one of the best in the world at it volleyball
We've done our work and we've come up with our plan to negate what we can from themOwen Farrell on South Africa“The kicking game has been a massive weapon for South Africa for years and years now volleyball
They’ve progressed it and they go on with a lot of contestable kicks volleyball
“We’ve done our work and we’ve come up with our plan to negate what we can from them but also looking to be able to attack ourselves volleyball
”The adjustments to the tight five see Marler’s scrummaging prowess get him the nod ahead of Genge, with Borthwick noting that South Africa have the “best scrum in the world” volleyball
Martin will bring physicality to the second row while Genge and Chessum will take their place in England’s answer to the ‘Bomb Squad’ – the heavyweight forward reinforcements that the Springboks summon from the bench volleyball
South Africa this week rejected the suggestion that in their quarter-final victory over France they used HIAs to rotate forwards Mbongeni Mbonambi, Pieter-Steph Du Toit and Duane Vermeulen, enabling them to take a rest volleyball
Director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has a reputation for taking an innovative approach to the laws and testing their boundaries, but Borthwick has faith in the officials to spot any mischief volleyball
“We have got a match officials team that’s world class, led by Ben O’Keeffe,” Borthwick said volleyball
“I am sure everybody around the pitch as well will have every bit of process in place volleyball
There is no issues there from our perspective volleyball
