The Springboks have made three changes to their starting fifteen for this Saturdays Test - two in the backs, and one in the forwards.

In what we think is a strange move, veteran Springbok Percy Montgomery swaps places with Conrad Jantjes at fullback. We thought Jantjes was good last week, and can only imagine they've brought Montgomery in for his goal kicking - Montgomery will be a lot more reliable than Butch James, especially from out wide.

The other replacement in the backs is JP Petersen in for Odwa Ndungane on the wing. Petersen is a classy winger, with a a ton of pace, but really isn't that different from Ndungane - so should be no hassle for the All Blacks defence.

Let's hope that statement doesn't come back to haunt us.

Bismark du Plessis starts at hooker with John Smit injured, which is a huge loss for the Springboks, and won't help their already woeful scrum. Hear that, Peter?

Woeful.

Victor Matfield will captain the team in Smit's absence - he has experience as captain, and should have no problems with the role.

Ruan Pienaar also comes into the side on the bench in place of Bolla Conradie, who didn't get much game time in the first Test in Wellington.

All in all, it's a very similar side to the one that played in Wellington - and while Montgomery provides some more experience, they'll need more than that to beat the All Blacks in Dunedin.

Oh, and by the way - the All Blacks have gone back to the top of the IRB rankings with their 19-8 win over the Springboks, knocking the World Champs off the top spot.

Well done, boys - back where you belong.
