The Springboks have strengthened their squad for the upcoming Test match against Wales with the inclusion of Stormers' star players. However, Handre Pollard and Jasper Wiese won't be able to feature in the match. The Springboks have named a training squad with several players based in Europe, the UK, and Ireland unavailable for Wales, leading to potential Test debutants. Despite the absence of certain players like Ruben van Heerden and Sanele Nohamba, the Springboks squad remains powerful and talented.

UPDATE: “With the players based in Europe, the UK and Ireland not available for Wales, we anticipate that there will be a few players making their Test debuts in that match" Plenty of fresh faces in the #Boks' training squad ahead. https://t.co/5CW5qoCEuD
Surprised that Stormers lock Ruben van Heerden and Lions half-back Sanele Nohamba haven’t made the Springboks squad. Been so impressed by both of them this season. Just shows the depth of SA rugby, I guess, with Bulls stars still to be added.
