Junior Boks coach Chean Roux has made six changes to his lineup for Tuesday’s warm-up game against Wales in Cardiff.

There are three changes to the backline, which includes a new centre pairing in Lyle Hendricks and Manuel Rass, while scrumhalf Zak Burger will join forces with flyhalf Lubabalo Dobela.

The switches in the pack see a new-look front row, with prop Nathan McBeth and hooker Schalk Erasmus starting alongside Sazi Sandi, who retains his place in the starting XV. Ben-Jason Dixon joins captain Salmaan Moerat in the second row.

‘Wales will pose different challenges to Scotland and we expect that this challenge will be a notch up from our last outing, so we need to be switched on from the outset,’ said Roux.

‘The set phases will again be vital in laying a solid foundation, while I would also like us to get the tempo up from early on.’

Kickoff is at 3pm.
