Beauden Barrett dropped for second Springboks Test

New Zealand have dropped fullback Beauden Barrett and scrumhalf TJ Perenara to the bench among four changes to their starting line-up to face South ******* in the Rugby Championship in Cape Town.

Injury rules out loose forward Ethan Blackadder (hamstring) and winger Caleb Clarke (back), who scored two tries in their 31-27 loss to the Springboks in Johannesburg last weekend.

Will Jordan shifts to fullback, Sevu Reece comes in on the right wing with Mark Tele’a brought in on the left with Clarke ruled out of Saturday’s clash.

Perenara is replaced at scrumhalf by Cortez Ratima, who gets only his second start for the All ******* while Wallace Sititi, who made his debut in July, takes the place of Blackadder on the blindside of the scrum.

Flanker Luke Jacobson is preferred to Samipeni Finau among the replacements, as New Zealand retain a 5-3 split between forwards and backs on the bench.

Team: Will Jordan, Sevu Reece, Rieko Ioane, Jordie Barrett, Mark Tele’a, Damian McKenzie, Cortez Ratima, Ardie Savea, Sam Cane, Wallace Sititi Tupou Vaa’i, Scott Barrett (capt), Tyrel Lomax, Codie Taylor, Tamaiti Williams. Replacements: Asafo Aumua, Ofa Tu’ungafasi, Fletcher Newell, Sam Darry, Luke Jacobson, TJ Perenara, Anton Lienert-Brown, Beauden Barrett.
