Springbok coach Peter de Villiers has made a significant number of changes to his team for their second Tri-Nations Test, against the All Blacks in Wellington on Saturday.

The South African starting XV has a decidedly make-shift look to it - with De Villiers naming new midfield and locking combinations, as well as a reshuffled loose forward trio.

Uncapped Gerhard Mostert, who was called into the squad from his Paris-based club Stade Français this week, will make his Test debut at lock - alongside Alistair Hargreaves, who appears to have won his race against time to recover from the injury he suffered last week.

Mostert comes in for the injured Flip van der Merwe (rib) - who returned home along with the other injured players, Johann Muller (hamstring) and Gio Aplon (back and shoulder).

Danie Rossouw shifts from blindside flank to No.8, with Jean Deysel coming off the bench to start at the side of the scrum.

Patrick Lambie replaces the injured Aplon at fullback, while Adi Jacobs is at outside centre and Juan De Jongh moves in one spot to wear the No.12 jersey.

Wynand Olivier, like Johnson, finds himself on the bench.

Odwa Ndungane fill the final spot on the bench.
