Springbok Willie le Roux is fit to start at fullback after he injured his ankle against the Stormers at Newlands last Friday.
Joe Pietersen, who missed the Stormers game with injury, is also ready and will start at flyhalf.
Meanwhile, Johann Sadie and Heinrich Brussow have returned from their duties in Japan. Sadie was picked on the bench for Wednesday's clash, but Brussow was not selected because he is struggling with concussion.
