Boks name 11 uncapped players on training squad

SPRINGBOK coach Peter de Villiers has named 11 uncapped players in his preliminary 39-man training squad for their Grand Slam tour of Britain and Ireland.

The majority of the party featured in the Springboks worst ever Tri Nations campaign earlier this season, but there are plenty of fresh faces for the two-day training camp the party will undertake in Johannesburg from Friday.

Elton Jantjies, Patrick Lambie, Lwazi Mvovo, Willem Alberts, Dean Greyley, Ashley Johnson, Werner Kruger, Gerhard Mostert, Coenie Oosthuizen, Duane Vermeulen and Deon Stegmann are the uncapped men, with Lions fly-half Jantjies and Sharks back Lambie having attracted particular attention for their excellent displays during the ongoing Currie Cup tournament.
