Victor Matfield will lead South Africa in the final test match of his career this Friday as the Springboks meet Argentina in the Bronze Final at London’s Olympic Stadium.
He will join Eben Etzebeth in the second-rtow in what is one of two changes to the side that faced New Zealand in last Saturday’s Semi Final. The additional change sees Ruan Pienaar named at scrumhalf in place of Fourie du Preez.
The replacements are yet to be confirmed while Argentina’s lineup is also set to be announced today.
