Nine new caps

‘The six newcomers are the Griquas duo Lourens Adriaanse and Willie le Roux, Trevor Nyakane and Pieter "Lappies" Labuschagne of the Free State Cheetahs, and two members of last year's Junior World Championship-winning SA Under-20 squad, Jan Serfontein ( Blue Bulls) and Pieter-Steph du Toit (The Sharks)).

The three other uncapped players in the squad are Siya Kolisi (Western Province), Arno Botha and Jano Vermaak (both Blue Bulls). Two players who only featured in one Test in 2012, Gio Aplon (Western Province) and JJ Engelbrecht ( Blue Bulls), are recalled following very good performances this year. ‘
