All Blacks v Springboks: Live updates from the third test at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg

Follow the action as the All Blacks and Springboks clash at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. All Blacks v Springboks – 3.10am, SundayThe All Blacks return to Gauteng province for their third test against the Springboks at FNB Stadium in Soweto. South Africa levelled the series in Cape Town, making this match effectively the decider, even though there is a fourth test in Baltimore. The Springboks named their starting XV early in the week, with Damian Willemse being ruled out with injury and replaced at fullback by Cheslin Kolbe, while Kurt-Lee Arendse will wear the No 14 shirt. Ox Nche, Malcolm Marx and Wilco Louw will be the Springboks’ starting front row, but coach Rassie Erasmus’ decision to swap the trio out an hour before kickoff has raised questions as to whether he might do the same again.The All Blacks have played at FNB Stadium twice against the Springboks, winning both occasions, which include a 2010 29-22 victory and a dominant 32-16 triumph in October 2012. The two games played in Johannesburg so far on this tour have also resulted in All Blacks wins as the tourists knocked over the Springboks in the first test at Ellis Park and the Lions at the same venue three days later.

Australian Angus Gardner, who replaced the Georgian, will now be an assistant for the third test. Amashukeli has not been a good omen for the All Blacks against the Springboks as he had the whistle for their record 43-10 in Wellington at the hands of the South Africans.
