The Springboks are the reigning world champions and No. 1-ranked side on the planet and returned to the tournament straight off the back of a bruising Lions series victory. But after two straight defeats at the hands of a resurgent Australia, it will now take a minor miracle to deny New Zealand.

Ardie Savea will captain the All Blacks again, this time from the openside flank, with Luke Jacobson at No 8 and Akira Ioane on the blindside. Brodie Retallick and Scott Barrett will combine in the second row.

“It’s a tough pack to pick at the moment because there are a lot of players putting their hands up and there were some players who played well last week,” Foster said. “It’s great to have experienced players like Joe Moody, Ofa Tuungafasi and Patrick Tuipulotu back. It has given us a great starting pack and a strong bench.”
