JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -Richie Mo’unga will start at flyhalf in the place of Beauden Barrett as one of four changes to his starting XV made by New Zealand coach Ian Foster for the must-win Rugby Championship clash with South Africa at Ellis Park on Saturday.
Barrett fell heavily on his neck during last weekend's 26-10 loss to the Springboks and although he has trained this week, he will start from the bench. That defeat was the All Blacks’ heaviest to the Boks in 94 years.
