Up front, hooker Scarra Ntubeni will make his first start since his return from injury, with Bongi Mbonambi set to play off the bench. Lock JD Schickerling also comes back into the starting lineup, with Rynhardt Elstadt shifting to flank alongside Siya Kolisi and Nizaam Carr, who moves to the back of the scrum.
