“Players based in Europe, the UK and Ireland will not be considered for the Boks’ first Test of the season against Wales at Twickenham,” SA Rugby said in a statement. With the Japanese season completed, however, eight South Africans based there were selected by head coach Rassie Erasmus on Sunday. Wiese, the likely successor to retired Duane Vermeulen in the back row, was hit with a six-Test ban after being sent off in an English Premiership match, and it starts against Wales.
With Pollard out of the reckoning for Twickenham, Manie Libbok and uncapped pair Siya Masuku and Jordan Hendrikse will be the fly-half contenders.Hendrikse and Masuku are among 11 uncapped players in the squad. Another is hooker Andre-Hugo Venter, a son of Springbok legend Andre Venter.
