"In the big scheme it gives everyone a chance to have a wee look at each other and feel each other out but I don't think it's going to affect the World Cup, no."
Both teams are coming off near-identical buildups, having notched first-up wins in the Rugby Championship with weakened teams while a group of first-choice players prepared in New Zealand.
Hansen is set to omit a chunk of the personnel involved in the mistake-riddled 20-16 win over Argentina in Buenos Aires.
Springboks counterpart Rassie Erasmus is also poised to overhaul his team who beat the Wallabies 35-17 in Johannesburg.
An advance party of 14 South African players that arrived in Wellington last week can all expect to play.
That group included veteran fullback Willie le Roux, first-choice halves Faf de Klerk and Handre Pollard and classy forwards Malcolm Marx and Duane Vermeulen.
Hansen said his team won't be motivated by last year's shock 36-34 loss in Wellington, saying "revenge, we are not into that".
