Here is the the list of fixtures


Springbok year-end tour fixtures:
Saturday, 5 November: South Africa vs Ireland (Aviva Stadium, Dublin)
Thursday, 10 November: SA Select XV vs Munster (venue TBC)
Saturday, 12 November: South Africa v France (Stade Vélodrome, Marseille)
Thursday, 17 November: SA Select XV v Bristol Bears (Ashton Gate, Bristol)
Saturday, 19 November: South Africa v Italy (Stadio Luigi Ferarris, Genoa)
Saturday, 26 November: South Africa v England (Twickenham, London)


I would almost treat these matches as a min World Cup and select a squad accordingly to simulate the pressures of competing and having to use player more than twice in one week. 


Unfortunately, the midweek games are on a Wednesday, so thought of someone who played on the weekend probably won't be on the bench. 


I would have selected only 33 players are per World Cup, but I think that this will be a really large touring party with probably up to 45 players. Normally it is about 25 players that go on tour.
