Springboks name squad

PETER DE VILLIERS yesterday named two uncapped players in the South Africa squad to face the Lions in a three-match Test series to be played in late June and early July.

Earl Rose and Morne Steyn are the only two new faces in the 28-man squad, which will be led by veteran captain John Smit.

Full-back Rose was part of the Springbok squad that toured Europe at the end of last year, while Bulls fly-half Steyn earns his place after an outstanding 2009 Super 14 campaign in which he helped his franchise lift the title on Saturday.
