Jake White made one change to the starting XV for the semi-final against Argentina on Sunday.

CJ van der Linde regains his place in the starting XV in place of Jannie du Plessis who moves down to the bench. Bismarck du Plessis replaces Gary Botha among the reserves and in a surprising move White dropped in form Wikus van Heerden from his 22-man squad and replaces him with Bob Skinstad.

SA squad to face Argentina: 15. Percy Montgomery, 14. JP Pietersen, 13. Jaque Fourie, 12. Franscois Steyn, 11. Bryan Habana, 10. Butch James, 9. Fourie du Preez, 8. Danie Rossouw, 7. Juan Smith, 6. Schalk Burger, 5. Victor Matfield, 4. Bakkies Botha, 3. CJ van der Linde, 2. John Smit(captain), 1. Os du Randt

Reserves: 16. Bismarck du Plessis, 17. Jannie du Plessis, 18. Johann Muller, 19. Bob Skinstad, 20. Ruan Pienaar, 21. Andre Pretorius, 22. Wynand Olivier.

SARB hereby wishes the Bokke all the best for the game.

    Bobby for Wikus???? WTF! Wikus has been brilliant the whole year and deserves to be there!!! Bob has done nothing to warrant a recall for this game. This is the biggest game for the guys ever and Wikus is the one player that will never let the team down!!!!! Bad choice Jake!!!!!

    Everyone is talking about the Pumas being a good squad and beating us.. whatever.. I think we will beat them by 20

    We just need to up our defence and the likes of habana, fourie du preez and steyn need to up their game.. theyve had a few dodgey last plays

    I agree aswell Wikus has been a animal.. Bobbie doesnt do shit besides 50/50 tackle off loads.. cant understand that one

    The bok back trio will be peppered with high balls.. I know Habana can catch and Percy is 50/50.. hopefully JP pulls it off

    Go Bokke!!
