Steyn in for Springboks

Fly-half Morne Steyn has been brought in for the injured Ruan Pienaar ahead of South Africa's second Vodacom Tri-Nations rugby union Test against New Zealand this Saturday (August 1st). It was the only change to the starting line-up that Springbok coach Peter de Villiers made to his side after defeating the All Blacks 28-19 in Bloemfontein last weekend. Two changes were made to the substitutions bench, with lock Andries Bekker replacing loose-forward Ryan Kankowski and centre Adi Jacobs - who is returning from injury - filling in for Steyn. John Smit will make history by beating the current record for being the most experienced Test captain after equalling 59 appearances set by England's Will Carling and Wallaby skipper George Gregan last weekend. South Africa are currently the favourites with BGBet(Go to BGBet ») to take the second clash against New Zealand with odds of 4/9 available. The All Blacks can be found at 28/13 with Betfair(Go to Betfair »).
