Springboks shuffle backs

South Africa need to find a new full back for Saturday's Test with England at Twickenham after losing Thinus Delport to injury. Percy Montgomery is the most likely candidate, switching from outhalf to take over from Delport, whose running from broken play has been a feature of this short tour. Delport lasted only 43 minutes of the 23-13 win over Wales on Sunday after receiving a bang on the head.

That is the most likely change for Harry Viljoen, particularly as it would keep intact the lineup which finally clicked against the Welsh.

Delport has been ruled out of the tour because of concussion and will also miss the game against the Barbarians on Sunday week, a game in which England's Lawrence Dallaglio is to lead the invitation side.

If England are going to win back-to-back Tests against the Springboks for the third time in history, they too will have to make a change or two in their backline.
