Coetzee makes four changes in his team

Springbok coach Allister Coetzee has made four changes to his team to play against France in the third and final Test of the Castle Lager Incoming Series at Emirates Airline Park tomorrow. Lions prop Ruan Dreyer will make his Bok debut in place of Frans Malherbe and Coetzee says it is the ideal time to blood in Dreyer. Another change to Coetzee’s team is at scrumhalf where Francois Hougaard takes over from the injured Ross Cronje. Coetzee says Hougaard will bring a lot of experience to the backline and he will be the perfect player to give the Boks another attacking option from the fringes. Sharks flank Jean-Luc du Preez will also be making his starting debut for the Boks and Coetzee feels that Du Preez has more than justified his selection with good performances off the bench. Centre Jesse Kriel returns from injury to start ahead of Lionel Mapoe and Coetzee believes that Kriel’s communication skills and his partnership with Jan Serfontein at franchise level at the Bulls makes them a formidable combination in the midfield.
