Posted: 29 Jan 2018, 03:50CARDIFF -- The Springboks handed tighthead prop Frans Malherbe a test debut and recalled veteran backs Jaque Fourie and JP Pietersen for the tour opener against Six Nations champion Wales at Millennium Stadium on Saturday. The 22-year-old Malherbe, from Western Province, replaced Jannie du Plessis, who didnt make the tour because of a chronic shoulder injury and broken hand. Another uncapped player, Sharks lock Pieter-Steph du Toit, was in the reserves. He would have played earlier this season if he hadnt injured his sternum, coach Heyneke Meyer said on Wednesday. There are five changes from the starters who lost an epic match to the All Blacks at Ellis Park on Oct. 5. The centre Fourie last appeared for South Africa at the 2011 World Cup, while Pietersen hasnt been available all year until now. The only other change in the forwards has Flip van der Merwe locking with Eben Etzebeth. "Frans has big boots to fill, but hes been with us for most of 2012 and shown good form since recovering from injury recently, and we dont have any doubts that he has what it takes to make the step up," Meyer said. "Hell have two players with more than 50 test caps each next to him in the scrum (Bismarck du Plessis and Tendai Mtawarira), and his general workrate across the field and on defence is very good. Im very happy for Frans." The inclusion of Fourie and Pietersen means all but fullback Pat Lambie, in for Zane Kirchner, in the backline have at least 40 caps. "Were very fortunate to have two world-class players in JP and Jaque and I wanted to get then into the action as soon as possible," Meyer said. "It was clear from our training sessions thus far that they are in great form and ready for test rugby." ------ South Africa: Pat Lambie, JP Pietersen, Jaque Fourie, Jean de Villiers (captain), Bryan Habana, Morne Steyn, Fourie du Preez; Duane Vermeulen, Willem Alberts, Francois Louw, Flip van der Merwe, Eben Etzebeth, Frans Malberhe, Bismarck du Plessis, Tendai Mtawarira.

These rules get passed down from generation to generation, but you cant actually find them anywhere - until now. With a nod to my TSN colleagues and followers on Twitter, here are the Unwritten Rules of Football. Rule #1 - Respect the rules. Rule #2 - Play until you hear the whistle. Rule #3 - Football boots are black and white and made from leather. *If you wear anything else, expect to be kicked by your opponents and called a poseur by your teammates. Unless you are Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, in which case, carry on. Rule #4 - Socks are to be pulled up to the knee and no further. *See rule #3. Rule #5 - The only player on the field who should be wearing gloves - regardless of the weather conditions - is the goalkeeper.*Again, see rule #3. Rule #6 - Magic spray is actually magic. Rule #7 - If youre injured, get off the field. If youre hurt, suck it up. Rule #8 - Unless you were on the terraces as a boy supporting the team you now play for, do not kiss the badge. Ever. Rule #9 - Classy players never celebrate when they score against their former teams. Rule #10 - If a player misses an easy chance, he must immediately look at the ground and inspect it for any clumps of turf. If he finds nothing amiss, he must then inspect his boots to determine the exact cause of the miss. Rule #11 - When playing the offside trap, the chances of getting the call are directly proportional to the ability of the back four to each raise one arm and shout "OFFSIDE!" in unison. Rule #12 - If the offside trap doesnt work, blame the fullback. Rule #13 - All corner kick takers must raise one arm before taking the kick. This is the universal signal for "Im taking the kick now!" Rule #14 - Players must always acknowledge their supporters at the conclusion of a game by walking towards them and applauding. Dont overdo it though, or you will be ridiculed by your teammates for being "busy". Rule #15 - When losing a cup game, goalkeepers must always come up for corner kicks in stoppage time, regardless of the fact that they have never won a header in their lives. Rule #16 - Under no circumstances are defenders allowed to wear anything but short sleeved shirts. *This rule was passed directly to me by former England captain, Terry Butcher.dddddddddddd As such, it is written in stone. Rule #17 - Goalkeepers are a strange breed. Accept it - they will never change. Rule #18 - Nutmegs only count if you collect the ball on the other side. Rule #19 - Cuts that require stitches do not also require an aesthetic to "numb the pain". Stitch it up and get back in the game. Rule #20 - Any foul, no matter how egregious, must always be protested by the offending player, usually by exclaiming the following: "But I got the ball, ref!" Rule #21 - Goalkeepers must always spit into the palms of their gloves at the beginning of each half, must smack the bottom of their boots against each post, must have a water bottle in their goal and must have a towel that they drape in the side netting of their goal (regardless of the weather conditions). *See rule #17 Rule #22 - 20 consecutive passes in a rondo means that both defenders stay in twice. Being nutmegged in a rondo means that the victim stays in twice. Rule #23 - When a defender makes a spectacular block, he is not allowed to show any outward signs of being in excruciating pain. He must immediately start organizing his teammates by pointing to the opponents and yelling "Pick up!" Rule #24 - Any manager that is given a "vote of confidence" from his chairman should immediately update his resumé. Rule #25 - What is said in the dressing room, stays in the dressing room. Rule #26 - After scoring a goal, never point to the name on the back of your shirt - its the one on the front that matters. Rule #27 - If a player goes down with injury, kick the ball into touch. If the opponent does this for your team, throw it back to them when play resumes. Rule #28 - If an opponent commits a foul on your teammate, do not wave an imaginary card at the referee. Rule #29 - Diving should be done into a swimming pool, river, lake or ocean. Not on grass. Rule #30 - If a Canadian-born player switches their international allegiance to another country to further their professional career, fans are free to call them a traitor. Alternatively, fans can say that the player has "pulled a Hargreaves" or "pulled a Leroux".
