Flying form: Bryan Habana scored a hat-trick against Australia last weekend

HEYNEKE MEYER has selected the same side that defeated Australia last weekend in Pretoria to face New Zealand in Soweto this Saturday.

The Springboks ran in five tries against the Wallabies, with winger Bryan Habana scoring a hat-trick in a comfortable victory. The three scores increased Habana’s number of tries for South Africa to 46 in 82 games.

20-year old fly Johan Goosen made his first start last weekend and retains the number 10 shirt to face the All Blacks after his impressive performance, holding off the challenge of Morné Steyn, Pat Lambie and Elton Jantjies.

Coenie Oosthuizen is cleared to play after experiencing some muscle stiffnes, and replaces Pat Cilliers on the bench.

Bath flanker Francois Louw starts again in the number 6 shirt, with Ulster’s Ruan Pienaar picked at scrum-half. Jean de Villiers captains the side.
