Tri Nations 2011: South Africa coach Peter de Villiers has named a poor 27-man squad for the away leg of their Tri Nations campaign with a host of key players missing through injury.
The Springboks had earlier this week released a list of 21 players unavailable for selection for the Tri Nations 2011 games against Australia and New Zealand on July 23 and July 30.
Australian Rugby Union chief executive John O'Neill has already called for there to be an investigation into the announcement, fearing that South Africa are saving their best players for their World Cup defense later this year.
The Springboks play Australia in Sydney on July 23 and title-holders New Zealand in Wellington a week later but the world champions look set to field weakened sides for both clashes due to the mass player withdrawals.
