Up front, Ruaan Ackermann moves from No 8 to lock, replacing Luvuyiso ‘MB’ Lusaseni, as Ruaan Lerm takes Ackermann’s place at No 8.
Victor Sekekete replaces Cyle Brink at No 7 flank, Martin Muller replaces Lourens Erasmus at No 5 lock, while there is also a new front row in the form of props Pieter Scholtz and Corne Fourie and hooker Ramone Samuels.
