Dillyn Leyds returns at fullback and Damian Willemse will shift to flyhalf for Western Province’s semi-final against the Blue Bulls at Newlands on Saturday.
In the midfield, Dan Kriel replaces Dan du Plessis at inside centre, while there are two changes to the pack. No 8 Juarno Augustus and hooker Bongi Mbonambi come in for Sikhumbuzo Notshe and Scarra Ntubeni.
Prop Michael Kumbirai is the only new addition to the bench, who comes at the expense of Neethling Fouché.
