CAPE TOWN (Reuters) -South Africa picked two new front rowers and made another change in the pack for the second test against the British & Irish Lions as the Springboks look for more forward power for Saturday's clash at the Cape Town Stadium.

An injury to Ox Nche sees Steven Kitshoff comes in at tighthead while Frans Malherbe is in the starting line-up on the loosehead side ahead of Trevor Nyakane, who is dropped to the bench.
