Interesting to note there are only two Stormers backline players included in the training group. Of he five newbies I rate Schickerling, Willemse and Wiese highly and at least some of the three mentioned is likely to feature in the Springbok squad sooner rather than later.
It must also be mentioned that some of the players in training camps earlier this year are left out and will not be contenders in future. It would be interesting to see which Lions and Sharks players are added to the list
