Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has named uncapped Cheetahs flyhalf Johan Goosen and Western Province number eight Duane Vermeulen in his Rugby Championship squad for away Tests against Australia and New Zealand next month.
Vermeulen has been kept out of the Springbok team by now injured Pierre Spies while 20-year-old Goosen is a phenomenal place kicker who finished sixth among the leading Super Rugby scorers despite missing half the season.
The Springboks face Australia in Perth next Saturday and the rampant All Blacks in Dunedin a week later.
Wallabies flyhalf Quade Cooper has been given the all-clear to play against South Africa despite a small fracture in his left tibia.
