I thought it would be interesting to see how many tier 2 and 3 players were in the 7 Super Rugby Unlocked squads.

Cheetahs 3: Aranos Coetzee (prop, Namibia); Louis van der Westhuizen (hooker, Namibia); Ruben de Haas (scrum half, USA).
Lions 2: Tiaan Swanepoel (fly half, Namibia); Divan Rossouw (full back, Namibia).
Pumas 2: Darrien Landsberg (lock, Zimbabwe); Tapiwa Mafura (full back, Zimbabwe).
Sharks 1: Madosh Tambwe (wing, DR Congo).
Stormers 1: Michal Haznar (centre, Namibia)
Bulls 0
Griquas 0

It seems South Africa was forced to renounce to the Championship. With them, they are eight nations between the top 24 not competing in any test this autumn: South Africa, Japan, Samoa, Tonga, Usa, Canada, Namibia, Hong Kong
