Why and outcry; we know the current coach is an ex Bulls coach, so he will be biased in favour of his ex players.
Spies will be the captain for the first test.
Also, all the Stormers injuried players will have three weeks to sort themseleves out.
Siya will have a chance to rest, as will all the other Stormers no involved in the Tests.
A 32 man squad, and we have two more players in it than the Lions; it's an absolute joke...

Springbok squad: Willem Alberts, Bjorn Basson, Marcell Coetzee, Keegan Daniel, Jean de Villiers, Bismarck du Plessis, Jannie du Plessis, JJ Engelbrecht, Eben Etzebeth, Bryan Habana, Francois Hougaard, Elton Jantjies, Ryan Kankowski, Zane Kirchner, Juandré Kruger, Werner Kruger, Patrick Lambie, Tendai Mtawarira, Lwazi Mvovo, Wynand Olivier, Coenie Oosthuizen, Ruan Pienaar, JP Pietersen, Jacques Potgieter, Chiliboy Ralepelle, Pierre Spies, Frans Steyn, Morné Steyn, Adriaan Strauss, Flip van der Merwe, Franco van der Merwe, Jano Vermaak.
Furthermore, six promising players have been added to the Springbok squad for the next three weeks. They are not eligible for selection but will train with the squad in Durban, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth.
The six up-and-coming players are Siya Kolisi, Arno Botha, Frans Malherbe, CJ Stander, Francois Venter and Piet van Zyl.
Meyer said: "We feel that these players have what it takes to play for the Springboks and they were close to selection in the final squad. However, these three weeks provide the ideal opportunity to work with them, show them what the Springbok culture is all about and hopefully put them on the right track to play for South Africa sooner rather than later. By doing this now, we will reap the dividends going forward."

Few 'surprising' selections imo - Jano Vermaak (I would have preferred Piet van Zyl), Wynand Olivier in front of de Jongh, Kolisi more deserving than Marcell Coetzee imo - I also would have preferred the Cheetahs wing (le Roux ?) before Mvovo.
I think we will beat the English and get some false confidence - but no matter who make the final 22 - there is no way in the world that we can match the Kiwis - I think both the Crusaders and the Chiefs would beat the 'Boks :

I agree with everything Frodo, except for Mvovo

My bloed is groen. Bokke bo. Gee vir Heyneke 'n kans. Hy moet span bou. Hy het nie 'n wereld kampioen span ge-erf soos Div nie en onthou 'n klomp Stormers is beseer.

Had to share - read the team to my wife just now. Part of our "guess the team they are from" game. We got to Elton Jantjies, she went "shame, he is a Lion". Almost wet myself.

This squad selection will give England a boost. Reeks of Northern favourtism. How can they stick in Oliver instead of De Jongh for starters.
