CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus has shuffled his backline and included exciting fullback Warrick Gelant as one of five changes to his side as he seeks a series clean-sweep against England in the third and final test at Newlands on Saturday.

Gelant takes over from the experienced Willie le Roux, who drops to the bench, and Andre Esterhuizen will earn his second cap at inside centre in the place of Damian de Allende.
