Curwin Bosch and Kwagga Smith are among the six players released from the Springbok squad to rejoin their Super Rugby franchises.

Bosch and Smith – who both started against Wales in Washington DC – join Ox Nche, Nizaam Carr, Travis Ismaiel and Cameron Wright as players who will not be involved in the next Test against England in Bloemfontein.

Meanwhile, prop Trevor Nyakane, who missed the 42-39 win against England with a rib injury, has been ruled out of the rest of the series.
