MUNSTER'S Jean Kleyn and RG Snyman will up their World Cup preparation after being picked in the South African starting lineup for Saturday's warm-up fixture with Wales at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

The second row duo will be hoping to make the 23 for the Springboks' opening World Cup fixture with Scotland on September 10. Ireland will be keeping a close eye on the fixture given that South Africa are in the same group.

South Africa also welcome back their captain Siya Kolisi to the starting XV for the fixture with Wales that has a 3.15pm kick-off.

Elsewhere, Munster prop Jeremy Loughman has been called up to the Irish training camp due to a knock to teammate Dave Kilcoyne. Ireland play England at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday evening at 7.30pm.
