Seasoned Springboks scrum-half Faf de Klerk was knocked out just 34 seconds into Saturday's Rugby Championship match against the All Blacks.

The sub scrum-half was one of just two South African backs named as cover as Nienaber had gone with a six forwards/two backs split on the bench. The scrum-half had his first touch when box-kicking clear from inside his 22 to Jordie Barrett on halfway after the All Blacks had kicked off. The 30-year-old was recalled to the starting line in one of three changes announced by head coach Jacques Nienaber last Tuesday.
