Prop Mako Vunipola comes in for Rory Sutherland, scrum-half Conor Murray replaces Ali Price and centre Chris Harris starts instead of Elliot Daly.

Meanwhile, Dan Biggar has been cleared to play after passing concussion protocols.

"As always, selection was incredibly tough," said Gatland.

"However, we've made the changes we think are the right calls for the weekend's game.

"We know the Springboks will be hurting and they'll throw everything at us on Saturday, but I think there's plenty more to come from us too.

"We feel we can go up another level from where we were in the first Test and I would expect us to improve.

"It's the biggest game on the Tour and we have to embrace the expectation that comes with it. As players and coaches, these are the games you want to be involved in.

"We're relishing the opportunity to face the Springboks again on Saturday and potentially seal a series win."
