CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - New South Africa coach Allister Coetzee named nine uncapped and just three foreign-based players on Saturday in a 31-man squad to face Ireland in three tests next month.

The identity of the new captain will remain under wraps, however, until just before the first test in Cape Town on June 11.
