Jordan Hendrikse and Edwill van der Merwe will make starting debuts for the Pieter-Steph du Toit-captained Springboks in the first Test of the year against Wales at Twickenham on Saturday.
Van der Merwe and Hendrikse are the two uncapped players named in run-on team – which features a good balance of youth and experience – while DHL Stormers duo Ben-Jason Dixon and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu are the two new faces on the replacements bench.
Erasmus welcomed back experienced hooker Malcolm Marx, who last ran out for the team in their opening World Cup encounter against Scotland before suffering a knee injury at training which ruled him out of further tournament action.
