NEWPORT Gwent Dragons skipper Colin Charvis has not been selected in Warren Gatland's 27-man squad for the two-Test tour of South Africa.

Gatland has kept faith with each of the 23 players he took to Wexford in Ireland for a 10-day training camp last week and added Gloucester duo Gareth Delve and Gareth Cooper alongside Scarlets wing Mark Jones, who returns from a knee injury, and Blues forward Bradley Davies.

Wales will play two Tests against the Springboks, the first at Vodacom Park, Bloemfontein, on Saturday, June 7 and the second at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria, on Saturday, June 14 (both kick-offs 15:00 local time).

The series will again contest the Prince William Cup which South Africa claimed after their successful visit to the Millennium Stadium last year.

BACKS: Morgan Stoddart, Andrew Bishop, Jamie Roberts, Shane Williams, Tom James, Mark Jones, Sonny Parker, Tom Shanklin, Stephen Jones, James Hook, Andy Williams, Warren Fury, Gareth Cooper FORWARDS: Ryan Jones (Captain), Dafydd Jones, Jonathan Thomas, Gareth Delve, Bradley Davies, Ian Evans, Alun-Wyn Jones, Ian Gough, Duncan Jones, Gethin Jenkins, Rhys Thomas, Adam Jones, Matthew Rees, Huw Bennett
