Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has shrugged off criticism that he may be taking a risk by starting Duane Vermeulen at eight-man. Vermeulen is returning from knee surgery, and his inclusion has sent the impressive Jasper Wiese to the bench.

Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber says, “If you played so many test matches or so many matches in your life I don’t think you can prepare for test matches against New Zealand except previous experience and that’s the one thing Duane brings to us a lot of experiences in the squad.” Vermeulen says, “I think the physical thing you just have to wait and see you know I have not played a game in the past six to eight weeks so that’s the only thing obviously we are playing at altitude so I think it would make a difference, but we have a strong group of guys and you don’t just play with fifteen guys you play with 23.”The All Blacks are ranked fifth

“If you look at the history of All Blacks, I am sure they will get it right and our job is to make sure they don’t get it right against us but they have got such a good coaching side and so much experience if you look at the team and see how many centurions it has they have got good rugby players they’ve got good fans back home a good structure and organisation in terms of New Zealand rugby so it’s a matter of time,” adds Nienaber.
