Lots of new names at Prop and Lock. Prop and lock was a problem position for the All Blacks over the last few years.
The props peaked before the world cup, and the locks were also better a few years ago. 
Outside backs are solid, but not spectacular. 

Foster will probably use the first few games to test players at international level. I would certainly back the Boks as favourites at the start of Foster's tenure as he caps new players and develops the squad. 
TJ Peranara and Aaron Smith will probably not make it to the next world cup.
