Three more South African players have been named in a World XV squad who will provide the Springboks with a pre-Rugby Championship warm-up at Newlands on 11 July.
Former Bok forwards Bakkies Botha and Gurthro Steenkamp had already been confirmed in the Robbie Deans-coached side and they will be joined by JJ Engelbrecht and Flip van der Merwe, both from the Bulls, and hooker Craig Burden of Toulon.
The World XV squad contains players from six different nations, with over 400 Test caps between them.
In the backline, Engelbrecht could link up with Australians Luke Burgess and Lachie Turner, as well as France's Maxime Mermoz and Maxime Machenaud.
Ten members of the squad are from Toulon, who made it three European Cup victories in a row when they beat Clermont 24-18 last month, and Toulon’s coach Bernard Laporte is to assist Deans.
World XV squad:
Forwards: Steffon Armitage, Bakkies Botha, Craig Burden, Petrus du Plessis, Carl Hayman, Louis-Benoit Madaule, Alexandre Menini, David Roumieu, Gurthro Steenkamp, Jordan Taufua, Flip van der Merwe, Luke Whitelock, Ali Williams
Backs: Delon Armitage, Luke Burgess, JJ Engelbrecht, Mike Harris, Maxime Machenaud, Maxime Mermoz, David Smith, Tom Taylor, Lachlan Turner, Rudi Wulf
