Morne Steyn replaces Ruan Pienaar at fly-half as South Africa make one change for Saturday's Tri-Nations rematch against New Zealand in Durban.


Pienaar twisted his ankle in the Boks' 28-19 win in Bloemfontein last weekend. Andries Bekker and Adrian Jacobs are on the bench again.

New Zealand make two changes, with scrum-half Jimmy Cowan replacing the dropped Brendon Leonard.

Owen Franks comes in for the injured Neemia Tialata at tight-head prop.

"The players looked good on Thursday and we've had a very positive week of training," said All Blacks coach Graham Henry.

"The guys are in good shape mentally and have enjoyed their time in Durban. But we'd be conning ourselves if we thought having a good week meant we can just turn up and win."

Springboks captain John Smit, who will be captaining the side for a world record 60th time, surpassing Australian George Gregan and Englishman Will Carling, said he fully expected a backlash from a wounded New Zealand.

To beat them once is great, to be able to do it back-to-back is a far greater challenge," he said.

"I think we can take it for granted that they were never going to be satisfied with their performance last week.

"There was always going to be a backlash and we are certainly going to face one on Saturday."

Steyn's introduction changes the options available to the Springboks because he is considered to be a kicking fly-half with a very accurate boot, whereas Pienaar is known more for his running and footballing ability.

Springbok team manager Arthob Petersen said Pienaar, who kicked poorly in the first Test in Bloemfontein, had been rested as a "precautionary measure" and was a "vital component" in the team.

South Africa coach Peter de Villiers said there was no point "crying about" Pienaar's injury, adding: "Morne is a very good player, he is a match winner and he has shown that with his franchise side, the Bulls."

Inside centre Jean de Villiers was thought to have injured his knee in Bloemfontein but the injury has now been put down to cramp and he is fit to win his 50th cap alongside wing Bryan Habana, who reaches the same milestone.

The All Blacks have called John Afoa onto the bench in place of Franks but Leonard, a less physical player than Cowan, drops out of the squad entirely.

"I feel for Brendon because he was given an opportunity and it didn't quite happen for him, partly because he reflected how the team was playing as a whole," added Henry.

"He will be disappointed but I believe he has a lot of ability and has a big future, he just needs more game time.

"Owen has shown he can stand up for himself. He's got an edge to him, he rates himself, which is very important at this level, and he'll be up for the contest. The bigger the challenge, the more excited he gets."

Full-back Mils Muliaina, centre Ma'a Nonu and locks Brad Thorn and Isaac Ross are the only players to have played in all five of the All Blacks' previous Tests this year.

South Africa: F Steyn; Pietersen, Fourie, De Villiers, Habana; M Steyn, Du Preez; Mtawarira, B du Plessis, Smit (capt), Botha, Matfield, Brussow, Smith, Spies.
Replacements: Ralepelle, Jannie du Plessis, Bekker, Rossouw, Januarie, Jacobs, Olivier.

New Zealand: Muliaina; Rokocoko, Smith, Nonu, Sivivatu; Donald, Cowan; Woodcock, Hore, Franks, Thorn, Ross, Kaino, McCaw, So'oialo.
Replacements: Mealamu, Afoa, Eaton, Read, Weepu, McAlister, Jane.

New Zealand powerhouse Joe Rokocoko will take his place on the right wing for Saturday's Tri-Nations clash against world champions South Africa.

Rokocoko replaces benched Cory Jane but there is no place for Jimmy Cowan with Brendon Leonard in at scrum-half.

The Springboks have recalled JP Pietersen, Bryan Habana and Jean de Villiers for their first game.

They are three of six changes made to the starting XV that lost 28-9 to the British and Irish Lions this month.

Ruan Pienaar plays at fly-half in Bloemfontein instead of Morne Steyn, hero of the second Test against the Lions, who drops to the bench.

Pierre Spies and Bakkies Botha are also in the South Africa team with Steyn, Wynand Olivier and Ryan Kankowski named as replacements.

Odwa Ndungane, Jongi Nokwe, Johann Muller are left out.

"It was a difficult decision to choose between Ruan and Morne, you always have difficult decisions as a coach," said coach Peter de Villiers.

"In rugby, you can't look too far ahead, so I will say that if injury hits, we will consider starting Steyn at fly-half."

Centre Adrian Jacobs failed to recover from a torn groin muscle and is replaced by Jaque Fourie, who resumes his midfield partnership with Jean de Villiers.

"It was a big setback to lose Adi, as he has been in our plans for a long time," added De Villiers.

"But with Jaque coming in, our plans won't change that much. They are very similar players and we will look to play a similar style of rugby with Jaque now at number 13."

Schalk Burger is still serving his ban for eye-gouging, leaving Heinrich Brussow to continue as openside flanker.

South Africa are hoping to beat New Zealand in Bloemfontein for the first time, having lost 15-9 to the All Blacks in 1976 and drawing 11-11 in 1960.

New Zealand hooker Keven Mealamu, captain Richie McCaw, Conrad Smith and Isaac Ross all came through light training on Monday after sustaining injuries in Saturday's win over Australia.

McCaw, Smith and Ross make the starting XV with Mealamu, who is set to be the seventh-most capped player, named as a replacement.

Coach Graham Henry told the All Blacks website: "We were really happy with the effort and the progress made against Australia and we are looking for continued improvement in the first Test against South Africa.

"It will be a massive challenge against our old foes."

New Zealand beat Australia 22-16 in the opening Tri-Nations match last weekend.

South Africa: Steyn, Pietersen, Fourie, De Villiers, Habana, Pienaar, Du Preez; Pierre Spies, Smith, Brussow, Matfield, Botha, Smit (cpt), Du Plessis, Mtawarira.
Replacements: Ralepelle, Du Plessis, Rossouw, Kankowski, Januarie, Steyn, Olivier.
