Warren Gatland today announces his team to play South Africa on Saturday. The under-fire Kiwi is likely to make some changes, with Adam Beard definitely out injured. Christ Tshiunza is favourite to start in his place.

Gatland is scheduled to name his team late morning before holding a press conference at lunchtime. It will be the first time he has spoken publicly since the initial fallout from Sunday's shocking defeat to Australia that made it 11 defeats in a row. While he is expected to be in charge against the Springboks, he could yet reveal his future plans imminently after admitting he is holding talks with WRU bosses and his family this week.
