NATIONAL NEWS - The Springboks have made one change to their side that beat the USA for this Saturday’s Rugby World Cup quarterfinal match against Wales.

JP Pietersen has recovered from injury and replaces Lwazi Mvovo.
 
Fourie du Preez will captain the side.

Coach Heyneke Meyer says that Victor Matfield was very close to selection, but his hamstring wasn’t 100%.

Meyer said Brian Habana is peaking at the right time.
"He’s playing probably his best rugby I’ve seen in some time."
