(Reuters)

New Zealand play their final warm-up game before the start of their four-Test series against South Africa as they take on the Bulls in Pretoria.

Dave Rennie’s All Blacks produced a vastly improved performance as they thrashed the Sharks in Durban on Tuesday night, and will look to keep the momentum rolling with a week to go until their first clash with the Springboks.

A move to the Highveld and the accompanying altitude may challenge the tourists, though, and this looks a Bulls side capable of doing damage.

Can they pull off a shock and detail the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour?

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is the Bulls vs New Zealand?

The Bulls host the All Blacks at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria, with kick off at 6pm BST on Saturday 15 August.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch every game from the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour live on Sky Sports, while South African viewers can tune in via SuperSport.

Team news

Former Leicester flanker Hanro Liebenberg makes his return to Bulls colours as part of a strong back row also containing 31-cap Springbok Marcell Coetzee. Veteran Willie le Roux forms an exciting playmaking partnership with Curwin Bosch, while Thaakir Abrahams is another recent returnee to South Africa after a couple of strong years with Munster.

In a late boost for the side, Elrigh Louw and Johan Grobbelaar have beeen released from Springboks camp and will feature off the bench.

Bulls XV: 1 Alu Tshakweni, 2 Juann Else, 3 Francois Klopper; 4 Ruan Vermaak, 5 JF van Heerden; 6 Marcell Coetzee (capt.), 7 Hanro Liebenberg, 8 Jeandre Rudolph; 9 Embrose Papier, 10 Curwin Bosch; 11 Stravino Jacobs, 12 Harold Vorster, 13 Stedman Gans, 14 Thaakir Abrahams; 15 Willie le Roux.

Replacements: 16 Johan Grobbelaar, 17 Sti Sithole, 18 Khutha Mchunu, 19 Reinhardt Ludwig, 20 Elrigh Louw; 21 Paul de Wet, 22 Katlego Letebele, 23 Hakeem Kunene.

Codie Taylor returns from injury to captain New Zealand in a boost for Dave Rennie with a week until the Springboks series. Beauden Barrett is stationed at full-back with Josh Jacomb installed at 10, while Anton Lienert-Brown and Rieko Ioane unite in an experienced centre partnership.

Six of those involved also featured against the Stormers on Tuesday, including both scrum halves. Richie Mo’unga joined up with the squad on Friday but is not involved.

New Zealand XV: 1 Xavier Numia, 2 Codie Taylor (capt.), 3 Tyrel Lomax; 4 Fabian Holland, 5 Patrick Tuipulotu; 6 Simon Parker, 7 Anton Segner, 8 Peter Lakai; 9 Cortez Ratima, 10 Josh Jacomb; 11 Josh Moorby, 12 Anton Lienert-Brown, 13 Rieko Ioane, 14 Leroy Carter; 15 Beauden Barrett.

Replacements: 16 Samisoni Taukei’aho, 17 George Bower, 18 Siale Lauaki, 19 Josh Lord, 20 Wallace Sititi; 21 Kyle Preston, 22 Timoci Tavatavanawai, 23 Emoni Narawa.
