They will be in the camp until Wednesday, 26 October, with a few of the players set to return to their teams for United Rugby Championship duty a few days later.

Several other players will then be brought into the mix. The Springbok and SA ‘A’ touring squads will be named on Friday, 28 October, with the Bok squad set to gather in Dublin on Sunday, 30 October.

A further 20 SA ‘A’ players are set to depart for Ireland a week later on Saturday, 5 November, to begin their preparations for the clash against Munster in Cork, where they will be joined by a few players from the initial 34-man touring squad.

The Springboks will play four Tests on consecutive Saturdays next month – against Ireland in Dublin on 5 November, France in Marseille on 12 November, Italy in Genoa on 19 November and England in London on 26 November on the Outgoing Tour.

The SA ‘A’ team, coached by Mzwandile Stick, will play two mid-week matches – against Munster on Thursday, 10 November, and the Bristol Bears a week later on 17 November.
