The Springboks team to face the All Blacks in Saturday's Tri-Nations test at Eden Park is largely unchanged from the side that drew 14-all draw against Australia last weekend.
Injured centre Robbie Fleck has been bracketed with Andre Snyman and a decision on the only possible change to the lineup will be left until the eve of the match.
Fleck damaged ankle ligaments in the Perth test and arrived in Auckland on Monday morning using crutches.
Springbok coach Harry Viljoen was widely tipped to bring in Snyman - who has not played test rugby since breaking his ankle against the All Blacks in 1999 - ahead of regular midfield reserve Deon Kayser.
Kayser replaced Fleck in the Perth test and will keep his place on the bench if Fleck does not recover in time for the match.
South Africa: Conrad Jantjes, Breyton Paulse, Robbie Fleck/Andre Snyman, Dean Hall, Braan van Straaten, Butch James, Joost van der Westhuizen, Bobby Skinstad (captain), Andre Venter, Mark Andrews, Victor Matfield, Andre Vos, Cobus Visagie, Lukas van Biljon, Robbie Kempson.
Reserves: John Smit, Ollie le Roux, Albert van den Berg, Johann van Niekerk, Neil de Kock, Deon Kayser, Thinus Delport.
