Two Boks boost Lions for All Blacks battle at Ellis Park

The duo were released from the Springbok squad for the Greatest Rivalry encounter. It will be the All Blacks' final match against the South African franchises, after which they switch focus to the Tests.

Horn starts at fullback for the Lions, with wingers Kelly Mpeku and Elrich Cronje either side of him. The relentless Henco van Wyk is at outside centre, paired with Richard Kriel.

Nico Steyn and Chris Smith will control the tempo at scrumhalf and flyhalf. Captain and No.8 Franke Horn has powerhouse Batho Hlekani and the talented Siba Mahashe on his flanks, while an experienced tight five will look to do the damage up front.

Springbok loosehead prop Boan Venter is on the bench, along with former Sevens star JA Pretorius and former Junior Bok Haashim Pead.
