(Reuters) - South Africa have made a change to their starting line-up for Saturday’s final Autumn international against Wales with prop Ox Nche replaced by Wilco Louw in a front row reshuffle.

Nche received a nasty gash above the knee in the 29-20 win over England at Twickenham last weekend but was named to start against the Welsh when coach Rassie Erasmus revealed his team on Tuesday.
