The All Blacks insist they’re relaxed whether Springboks veteran lock Eben Etzebeth starts or comes off the bench in tomorrow morning’s test at Ellis Park.

Etzebeth was out initially due to a back injury, before being included on the bench in a mid-week change.

Speculation persists he could yet be elevated to start.

Elliott Smith joins D'Arcy out of South Africa to preview the latest ahead of Sunday's test match.
