Semi-final hero Handre Pollard will start at fly half as Faf de Clerk replaces Cobus Reinach at scrum half, meaning there is no place on the bench for either Cobus Reinach or Manie Libbok who both started the semi-final.<\/p>\n<p>After World Rugby found there was \u201cinsufficient evidence to proceed with charges\u201d amid the racial slur allegations made by Tom Curry, hooker Bongi Mbonambi is free to play in the final and has been selected in the No 2 shirt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confirmed lineups:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Zealand XV: <\/strong>15.
