Full All Black squad now in South Africa

The All Blacks have had their first stretch of the legs in Pretoria, albeit with some players missing.

The second wave of players and management have arrived in South Africa, with 11 players and more of the management team touching down this morning.

Those in the first wave have had a training session overnight with some fitness work, and they have also tried several new combinations in the backs and forwards.

Prop Greg Somerville says it was a good chance for some fresh air, after a long flight so soon after Saturday night's test.

He describes it as a pretty light session, with a bit of time at the gym and a good chance to get out in the sun and stretch the legs.

Somerville is expected to start at tighthead in Pretoria.

The full squad of 30 will have its first run tonight, with a new look test team named around 11.30 this evening (NZ time).

Most of the recently arrived 11 players are expected to be on the bench including the likes of Rodney So'oialo, Keven Mealamu, Byron Kelleher and Joe Rokocoko.

Carl Hayman is definitely out of contention while Richie McCaw is also set to miss the Loftus test.

There could be as many as a dozen changes from the team that beat the Wallabies at Eden Park.

Meanwhile, Springbok coach Jake White will have a full squad of 28 to choose from for the test.

The medical staff has given the squad the all clear after the side's training session this morning.

Danie Rossouw, Andre Pretorius, Juan Smith, Jacques Cronje and Joe Van Niekerk all took full part in the practice.
