The Pretoria have stepped in to help out the Springboks

Bulls v South Africa A – the teams

The Bulls stepping in to offer the Springboks a last meaningful warm-up match before their Test series with the British & Irish Lions really helped the side out. And now we know who will play for both sides on Saturday.

For the Boks, there are a lot of changes from the team that defeated the Lions on Wednesday. Only three players from that game keep their places in the starting team, with Damian de Allende in the centre, Marco van Staden on the flank and Joseph Dweba at hooker. And Elton Jantjies is named as captain for the side.

Meanwhile, the Bulls have named a side with plenty of familiar names. Nizaam Carr will captain them from the flank, while Johan Goosen comes in as fly-half. Cornal Hendricks in the centre could prove to be a handful.
