PDV has released the Match day 22 for the first test against the British and Irish Lions in Durban.
Frans Steyn will be the starting fullback after the Springbok selectors did not choose a specialist for this position. No doubt that Fans will make good use of his massive boot and get the Springboks on to the front foot. Many people have suggested Frans at Fullback and now we will get to see if the position is a good move for him or not.
Ruan Pienaar is the starting fly half and Morne Steyn will be on the bench. Pienaar has had little game time this season due to injury so I’m expecting a change possibly half way through the game. Heinrich Brussow has been named the starting open side flanker in place of Burger and this no doubt has to do with Burgers calf injury.
See the list below:

15 Frans Steyn
14 JP Pietersen
