Late change for All Blacks at Loftus

Cape Town - The All Blacks have been forced into a late change for their rugby Championship clash against the Springboks at Loftus. 

Centre Jack Goodhue has been ruled out with illness and his place will see Ryan Crotty come into the starting line-up off the bench. 

Crotty will start in the No 13 jersey, meaning that Sonny Bill Williams stays put at No 12.
