The Springboks will be making at least two changes to their starting XV on Tuesday when coach Jacques Nienaber names his team to take on the All Blacks in their 2nd match in the Castle Lager Rugby Championship.
South Africa have little time to rest on their laurels after Saturday's impressive 26-10 demolition of New Zealand at Mbombela Stadium as they'll have to do it all again against their great rival this weekend at Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg.
However, scrumhalf Faf de Klerk will be missing as he has to serve his return-to-play protocols after being concussed in the first minute in Nelspruit.
Dynamic winger Kurt-Lee Arendse will also be missing after copping a 4-match ban from SANZAAR for the mid-air collision with Beauden Barrett which saw the mercurial flyhalf land on his neck and remain a doubt for Ellis Park.
The 75th-minute incident saw Arendse red-carded for what was rightly deemed a dangerous tackle even though he lay prone on the ground at the time, having knocked himself out in the process.
A SANZAAR foul play review committee found Arendse's indiscretion to be reckless, highly dangerous, and with a considerable impact on the victim player which merited a mid-range entry point of 8 weeks' suspension.
However, the suspension was reduced to four weeks given Arendse's clean judicial record and his acceptance of guilt at the first available opportunity.
It means he'll miss Ellis Park (which he would have anyway with a concussion) as well as both Castle Lager Rugby Championship Tests against Australia and one against Argentina.
Arendse will be available for the final match against the Pumas in Durban on the 24th of September.
SA Rugby announced on Monday that junior Springbok utility back Canan Moodie has been called up to the Springbok squad as cover at wing in place of Arendse.
