Cape Town - The World XV squad to do battle with the Springboks at Newlands this Saturday features seven South Africans.
They are: scrumhalf Rory Kockott, centre Wynand Olivier, hooker Craig Burden, props Julian Redelinghuys and Schalk Ferreira, and locks Juandré Kruger and Alistair Hargreaves.
Four of these players - Kockott, Burden, Redelinghuys and Ferreira - are set to get their first taste of international rugby.
Burden was called up after Schalk Brits had to pull out when he was picked for the Springbok squad.
Former Bok coach Nick Mallett is in charge of the World XV side, with Alan Solomons as his assistant.
Omar Mouneimne is the defence coach.
