This will be the final opportunity for Meyer to work with the players before the final Springbok squad to face England in the Castle Incoming Tour 2012 will converge in Durban on Sunday, 3 June.
The camp this weekend will take place on Sunday 27 and Monday 28 May. The players will depart Durban around midday on Monday and will be back with their Vodacom Super Rugby franchises for training in the afternoon.
“We discussed this with the franchise CEOs recently and they’ve been very accommodating, as they were earlier in the season,” said Meyer.
“We’ve planned it in Durban, because the DHL Stormers take on The Sharks at Mr Price Kings Park the day before and will be there already. Players from the Vodacom Bulls, MTN Lions and Toyota Cheetahs will fly in on Sunday morning.
“This is by no means a final Springbok squad and the door will be open for all our eligible players until the announcement of the squad that will take on England.
“This camp will put in place a number of the finer details in terms of what we want to achieve against England. We will hit the ground running on 3 June, when we converge in Durban for the first Test with a final squad.”
Meyer said that they will keep in touch with the Vodacom Super Rugby franchises regarding injured players, but that they weren’t considered for this camp.

Wat is dit met julle Vrystaat ondersteuners?
Flok, assie man nie die wit (of oranje) truitjie aantrek nie… dan MOET hy in julle oge kak wees….
… en as hy boonop nog verhuis het Tjarks toe of Bulls toe (al kom hy oorspronlik nie affie Vrystaat nie), dan will julle hom met klippe gooi en in julle panties kakkas…
Maar laat hy nou net ‘n Cheetah-truitjie dra, man, dan is hy briljant en spesiaal…. al is hy eintlik spasties, kruppel, blind, sonder hande en goed geflok!
29 @ Just For Kicks:
Hello Smallies… genade is ek bly om ‘n Staater te sien wat darem die Bulls like as sy 2de keuse span…
29 @ smallies72:
Ek en jou spanne lyk nogals eenders…
Dink net Joe Pietersen het hierdie jaar genoeg gedoen om te start op heelagter, maar Heyneke sal tien teen een vir Bambie op heelagter speel.
Senters is problematies, wens ons het geweet of Frans Steyn gaan kom speel of nie… ek sou hom so maklik ingooi op Nr 12, voor mens MES kon sê.
Ons sit met 3 uitstekende linkervleuels… Habana, Bjorn Basson en Mvovo, nogal moeilik om te kies, nie waar nie?
@ grootblousmile:mvovo gaan nog n grote in die bok span word pace groote n killer step basson dink ek se verdediging dalk n bietjie swakker as die ander twee
@ smallies72:
Of jy gaan 10 steyn,12 lambie 13 div,15pietersen
34 @ smallies72:
Horses for courses…
As jy ‘n skopperige game wil speel en die agterste drie onder druk wil sit…. Bjorn Basson. Daar’s nie ander vleuels soos hy op ‘n hoë bal jaag nie.
As jy uit gebroke spel iets wil maak, Mvovo. Hy is moer vinnig.
As jy wil lyne hardloop soos om die vleuels weg te stuur hier om die losgemale… uitgee van scrummie af… dan’s Habana jou man.

37@ bos_otter: I think Spies is GBS’s lovechild. I bet he hasn’t told his son yet though, just incase he doesn’t turn out to be as good as he wishes! Eish, these fathers should stop pushing their sons so, psychologically, it doesn’t do the poor boy any favours.
Disturbing thought that 🙂
