South Africa have made just one change to their starting line-up for Saturday's crucial Tri-Nations match against New Zealand in Hamilton.
Following last weekend's 21-6 humbling at the hands of Australia coach Peter de Villiers has resisted the urge to wield the axe and has instead only replaced full-back Ruan Pienaar with Francois Steyn.
New Zealand are expected to adopt similar tactics to those used by Robbie Deans' men last week where they mixed some good tactical kicking with a high-speed game plan.
'We've tried to keep it as simple as possible. But there is a bit of horses for courses and Frans can play a major role in Hamilton with his boot,' De Villiers told media.
'It's not a shift in game plan. We expect Dan Carter to kick more and with Frans we can put ourselves back in position and able to dictate play.'
Bryan Habana, who has been under an injury cloud with a hamstring strain, has been named on the wing, while big number eight Pierre Spies is nursing a groin problem.
Despite the obvious issues with the scrum in Brisbane, the coach has opted to stick with his front row so captain John Smit remains at tighthead prop.
New Zealand forwards coach Steve Hansen has some sympathy for Smit, who has made the transition from hooker to prop to make way for the talented Bismarck du Plessis.
'Their scrum has had one bad game and he's copping all the blame for it,' said Hansen.
'He's been there for a lot of Tests now and their scrum has gone okay before. But it was a big cornerstone for the Australians to attack the Boks with. Not only did they mentally get them at scrum time but they also got them physically as well and sapped their energy.'
All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw though, expected an improved Springboks scrum this weekend.
'You get one or two wrong in a game and a bit of confidence goes. It's easy to blame it on one fella. He's the one that looks like he's getting done but the whole scrum can contribute to that as well.
'I think the Wallabies just got a bit of confidence up and started to put them under pressure. I'm sure they will address that by this week and we've got to make sure we get our own stuff sorted so we can win our own ball and then hopefully put some pressure on them.'
