Just two changes will be made to the team who played Argentina last weekend: Ardie Savea will take over from injured Sam Cane, while Matt Todd will play as loose forward. Aaron Cruden will also be replaced by Lima Sopoaga.
Hansen says, "We're really looking forward to Saturday's encounter, as South Africa is one of our traditional foes. We have built up a great relationship over the last few years and respect the South Africans immensely.
We know they'll be hurting and desperate to get a result after their loss on the weekend. Therefore, our personal preparation this week will have to be at the highest level - bone deep with real clarity," he added.
We've worked hard this week on improving in the areas we felt weren't good enough last weekend. We're confident that those areas have been addressed and our performance will be improved.
The match will take place at the AMI Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday 17 September. Kick off is at 7:35pm.
