Floors to make his debut against England

Kabamba Floors will make his debut in South Africa's second rugby international against England at Twickenham on Saturday.

Floors was named Wednesday at blindside flanker in place of Pierre Spies. Juan Smith was selected at openside flanker, while Danie Roussouw moves to No. 8 from No. 7 as Jacques Cronje is injured.

The only other change from South Africa's 23-21 loss to England last week was Andre Pretorius winning selection at fly half ahead of Butch James.

The Springboks have lost six consecutive matches at Twickenham. They last won there in November 1997.
