The Springboks make changes to their lineup for the second Test, recalling fly-half Handre Pollard and captain Siya Kolisi, according to multiple reports. The updates come after both players were not part of the first Test team.
Several outlets state that Kolisi is expected to captain the side in the second match. The Independent and Yahoo Sports both highlight that Kolisi is left out of the first Test selection but is now brought back into contention. The reports also frame Pollard’s return as part of broader ring changes for the second fixture.
While the sources agree on the key personnel changes—Pollard’s recall and Kolisi’s return and expected captaincy—they do not provide conflicting details about reasons for the earlier omission. Any additional context, such as injury updates or specific tactical changes, is not specified in the provided summaries.
