South Africa Springboks name team for UK tour
The Springboks South African rugby team have named a 26-man squad with only two players who failed to make the World Cup in the line up for their two-match tour of the UK.
Conrad Jantjes and Heinke van der Merwe were the two rugby players who did not take part in the Springboks' path to success in 2007.
South Africa's Springboks play against Wales on 24 November and then take on the Barbarians on 1 December.
The first match takes place at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium for the new Prince William Cup. It will be Wales caretaker coach Nigel Davies' only match in which he will be in charge of the Wales rugby team.
South Africa were unable to have Butch James, Gary Botha and Ashwin Willemse, due to other commitments but Victor Matfield and captain John Smit are in the team although they have signed for French sides as well.
