South Africa have made 10 changes to their side for Saturday's third and final Test against the British and Irish Lions.

With an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, the Springboks have decided to ring the changes for the final Test in Johannesburg.

Coach Peter de Villiers has made full use of his squad with only scrum-half Fourie du Preez, flanker Juan Smith, lock Victor Matfield and props Tendai Mtawarira and John Smit keeping their places from the side that narrowly won the second Test last Saturday.

Johann Muller and Heinrich Brussow come in to replace the suspended pair Bakkies Botha and Schalk Burger.



South Africa: Kirchner, Ndungane, Fourie, Olivier, Nokwe, M Steyn, Du Preez, Mtawarira, Ralepelle, Smit, Muller, Matfield, Brussow, Smith, Kankowski.



Replacements: B du Plessis, Steenkamp, Carstens, Sykes, Spies, R Pienaar, F Steyn.
