Erasmus hinted that his final 31-man selection for the tournament in Japan, which will be announced on Aug. 26, will be drawn from the players in camp this week, with the remainder on stand-by in case of injury. The final squad of 31, as well as six stand-by players, will be selected from those in camp, as well as loose forward Marcell Coetzee who has not travelled after leaving the field with concussion at Loftus Versfeld.
There are no newcomers to the squad from those that helped the Springboks lift the Rugby Championship title for the first time in a decade earlier this month.
