No surprise as Cane is recalled for Ellis Park Test

Lock Scott Barrett, who has been the All Blacks' first-choice captain under new coach Scott Robertson this year, is also back in the side for the match, after missing out on the action against Argentina recently because of a finger injury.

Tomorrow's outing will be the first start in the No 7 jersey for Cane since he was shown a red card in last year's World Cup final in Paris, a game the Boks won 12-11, to win their fourth World Cup.
