Carter is just two points behind Wilkinson’s Test points record of 1,195 and is one of four changes made to the side that demolished Fiji 60-14 last week.
He replaces Colin Slade at 10, while Jerome Kaino comes in at blindside flanker and Cory Jane and Sam Whitelock also return. Ma’a Nonu is preferred at centre to Sonny Bill Williams who starts on the bench.
Peter de Vlliers has also made four changes to his side, having gone down 39-20 to the Wallabies last weekend in a disapointing display. Second row Gerhard Mostert will make his debut replacing the injured Johann Muller, with Jean Deysel and Patrick Lambie also making their first appearances for the Boks.
