Loose forward Marco van Staden and utility back Dillyn Leyds were released to their franchises in other changes from the squad that defeated Australia 35-17 in their championship opener at Ellis Park on Saturday. Bok coach Rassie Erasmus sent 14 players to New Zealand on Thursday, before the Wallabies test, and a further eight left on Saturday evening. He will have 22 players in camp for his first training session on Monday, and the remainder are due to arrive in the week.
