BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa (Reuters) - South Africa named a new captain, plus two uncapped players in their starting line-up and a further four among the replacements as coach Jacques Nienaber announced wholesale changes for the second test against Wales in Bloemfontein on Saturday.

Handre Pollard, who returns to the squad after not featuring in the narrow 32-29 first-test win in Pretoria at the weekend, will take over the captaincy from Siya Kolisi as Nienaber keeps just one player from Saturday’s starting XV.
