Kick-off 1500 GMT 1411: As the saying goes, a week is a long time in politics - and six minutes is a long time in rugby. No sooner have we told you that Schalk Burger is one of the stars of the South African side than it is announced that he will miss the game with a broken nose, suffered in the win over Wales. His place in the starting XV goes to Barend Pieterse, with Hilton Lobberts promoted to the bench. 1405: Afternoon all, welcome to commentary on the final international of the year and what a fitting way to finish an incredible 12 months - the newly crowned world champions against the Barbarians at Twickenham. Although the Springboks are not at full strength, there are plenty of World Cup winners on show - Jaque Fourie, Francois Steyn, Schalk Burger and Juan Smith to name but four. We will say goodbye to Jake White, who is taking charge of his final game as South African coach. I'm still bemused at how he has been treated by the powers that be at home, surely winning the World Cup would give him the job for as long as he wanted it? Obviously not. England great Jason Robinson is playing his last game on the world stage before retiring and it will be an emotional moment when he leaves the Twickenham pitch for the final time.
