KEY POINTS:
Controversial Stormers flanker Luke Watson has made the first cut in Springbok coach Jake White's squad.
White initially picked a train-on squad of 45 to prepare for tests against England starting on Sunday.
But without White's knowledge, Watson was added at the insistence of South African Rugby Union president Oregan Hoskins.
Watson, 23, is the son of anti-apartheid hero Dan 'Cheeky' Watson, who rejected white rugby to play in the black townships in the white-rule era.
Last weekend, after the Super 14 final, White was set to announce his trimmed-down squad of 37, minus Watson. But it is understood Hoskins and fellow panel members Mike Stofile and Koos Basson overruled White again, forcing him to include the "disadvantaged" Watson at the expense of the Cheetahs' "coloured" flanker Kabamba Floors.
Bulls first five-eighths Derick Hougaard is a late addition, bringing the number to 38.
