"As the selection panel, we had to take into account aspects like fitness, conditions and the needs of the coach and his team," said Henry today. "Of the 18-man provisional squad we named, Neil McKenzie and Steve Elworthy were unfortunate to miss out this time, but both are very much in the frame. Justin Kemp has not fully recovered from his ankle surgery," Henry added.

The squad will attend a four-day training camp at SuperSport Park, Centurion, from 1-4 August.
