I've been asking around and Googling but coming up blank. Rassie has indicated that Kwagga Smith and Duane Vermeulen are there but that's about all we know for sure.
I assume it's pretty much the initial squad less the players named for Saturday's test. Here is that initial squad with Saturday's team and injured players crossed out:
Forwards:
That leaves 14 players who are probably in New Zealand already and one more mystery person.

Can only guess, bit I think the following went to NZ:-
Le Roux. De Allende, Am. Pollard, De Klerk, Malherbe, Kitshoff, Marx, Kolisi, Mostert, Lleyds, Vermeulen and 3 others, It is not automatic that they would be in the team against NZ/ There are some injury return players that needs game time and they are likely to compete for inlclusion in the team against the AB's next week.
Maybe you can think about the other three. There would be 11 players playing on Saturday who will join the SA squad already in NZ,

I'm sure if the ABs gave a damn they have multiple sources to find out who the mystery 15 are.....but why bother. Just another of Rassie's diversions from the record.

Careful with your erotic literature Lügnerin, you'll have Pinky weak at the knees!
As per the likely team? Not our strongest. Rassie is definitely clutching at straws. What matters is what he learns from this experiment. If we need a loss to wise J-Raz up, then so bet it. However, he seems rather stubborn.
