CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa have named five newcomers in their 36-man squad to tour the Northern Hemisphere next month, including exciting sevens speedster Seabelo Senatla.

Coach Heyneke Meyer has resisted the temptation to experiment too much by naming 29 players who participated in the Rugby Championship, but did add some new names given the bloated size of the squad for matches against Ireland, England, Italy and Wales on successive Saturdays starting on Nov. 8.
