I think that Pollard may not be available due to injury and guess the following would be the team to play on Friday:-
15  Willie le Roux14  JP Pietersen13  Jesse Kriel12  Damian de Allende11  Bryan Habana10  Handre Pollard  9  Fourie du Preez  8  Duane Vermeulen  7  Schalk Burger  6  Francois Louw  5  Pieter-Steph du Toit  4  Eben Etzebeth  3  Frans Malherbe  2  Adriaan Strauss  1  Tendai Mtawarira
16   Bismarck du Plessis17   Jannie du Plessis18   Trevor Nyakane 19   Lood de Jager20   Siya Kolisi21   Rudy Paige22   Patrick Lambe23   Jan Serfontein
I think the highlighted players are likely to announce their retirement from international rugby after the match.  I left out Matfield because of his disaster in the semi - but Meyer may want to give him a farewell gift by selecting him on the bench.   I would put De Jager on the bench because he was clearly over-played in the matches in the RWC.   He played in all the pool matches the quarterfinal and the semi-final giving a full go in every match he played in.  He should have been rested in at least one game.
