The fact that he selected no fewer than 13 current Springboks in his invitational side suggests that he considered the match an opportunity for more Springbok experimentation.

Well, he got the chance against the All Blacks in Wellington when Damian De Allende went off injured in the 47th minute. And so effective were Jantjies and Pollard that Derek Alberts was moved to tweet: It’s an interesting observation and, depending on Coach Rassie’s selections this weekend, we may learn more about it as all three are in the squad and no-one appears to have been called up as cover for De Allende. Ruhan Nel has been brought in but he’s perceived in most quarters as a 13 more than a 12. Indeed, as Sport24 chief writer, Rob Houwing, suggests that a starting 10-12 combo of Jantjies and Pollard suddenly looks incredibly close to fruition for the Springboks. And he’s not alone.
