Cobus Reinach will replace the injured Faf de Klerk in the Springboks’ starting lineup for this Saturday’s third Test against the British & Irish Lions.

On Tuesday, Bok coach Jacques Nienaber made three changes to his starting team for the clash, two of which were personnel changes and one positional switch, mainly due to injuries to the influential Pieter-Steph du Toit (flank) and De Klerk (scrumhalf).

With Du Toit, the 2019 World Rugby Player of the Year, having taken a knock to the shoulder in the second Test this past weekend, Franco Mostert moves from lock to the side of the scrum, while Lood de Jager is promoted from the bench to the starting team and will start alongside Eben Etzebeth in the second row.

The other change is at scrumhalf, where Reinach replaces De Klerk, who has been ruled out due to a leg muscle strain.

The British & Irish Lions 2021 Test series against the Springboks has been a gladiatorial slugfest of epic proportions, writes former Lions centre SCOTT GIBBS.

The quality of rugby has unfortunately not been widely accepted yet, to the rugby purist, the to and fro of phenomenal 40-minute performances from both sides to win their respective Tests has been a spectacle to observe. Saturday’s final clash will, however, be decided by the team capable of engineering an 80-minute effort.

Why I created my YouTube Channel: Through my YouTube Channel "Walking Tall with G-MAN" I strive to inspire and motivate people to never give up in life as well as using this platform to share my sporting passion.

When I was younger, I was told because of my height I wouldn’t be able to play a sport in school however I proved everyone wrong and played sport and became first-team cricket captain of my school.

Having dwarfism did force me to stop playing sport after varsity; however, I continued to share my passion through my YouTube Channel.
