The Springboks have announced their lineup for the Rugby World Cup final against the All Blacks, with Handre Pollard and Faf de Klerk starting their 25th Test together. The team has made five changes, including the return of the 'Nuke' Squad, a 7-1 split on the bench, and the dropping of Manie Libbok.
