The Boks have opted for 3 backs, unlike the bomb squad of 6-2.
The have 2 flyhalfs and one scrumhalf in the backs.
Manie is probably going to play flyhalf during the 2nd half, and Pollard is going to move 12? AM could then shift out to 13, or he could be subbed with Kriel remaining at 13.
The forward pack on the bench is extremely strong. So if the Boks are not playing well, we could expect substitutions earlier than later.
