SA Schools contenders
Let it be known that in no way have we taken the "transformation" policies into account as every single player we have selected has been chosen out of merit and nothing else. Each of the players below have earned their way into our selection.
Of the 54 players we have identified, 12 places belong to Western Province while the Blue Bulls (eight), Golden Lions (eight) and KwaZulu Natal (seven) make up the majority of the squad.
Free State are represented by five players while Eastern Province take up four spots. South Western Districts, Griquas, the Pumas, the Falcons and EP Country Districts make up the remaining numbers.
