South Africa v New Zealand LIVE: Latest updates as Springboks and All Blacks collide in first Test of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series

New Zealand, meanwhile, are bolstered by their captain as Ardie Savea returns from a rest to lead the All Blacks.

Rassie Erasmus delayed the naming of his Springboks team until Thursday, atypically late for the South Africa head coach – but there was still some major news:

A mighty meeting of southern hemisphere heavyweights launches properly this afternoon as South Africa and New Zealand embark on the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series. The storied Ellis Park is our venue for the first of four Tests between the pair as the Springboks and All Blacks collide – this should be very, very tasty indeed.

Kick off is at 4.10pm BST.
