Flyhalf Francois Brummer, eighthman Burger Schoeman, flank Marnus Schoeman and prop Steph Roberts are all unavailable.

Brummer is replaced by Dean Grant, while Carel Greeff and Janro van Niekerk come into the starting lineup at No 8 and loosehead prop respectively. In a positional change, regular lock Jaco Nepgen packs down at openside flank as Schoeman moves to the bench.
