Damian de Allende, Lwazi Mvovo and Malcolm Marx have been released by the Boks and will be available for Currie Cup selection this weekend.
The three players will join their provincial training teams on Tuesday morning, with De Allende set to return to Western Province, Mvovo heading back to the Sharks and Marx returning to the Lions.
De Allende's departure is an indication that Allister Coetzee is set to continue with Juan de Jongh at inside centre, while Bongi Mbonambi will come back into the match 23 at the expense of Marx.
