Cape Town - Schalk Ferreira will lead the Southern Kings in Saturday’s PRO14 match against Ulster in Zwide in the absence of regular captain Mike Willemse.

Coach Deon Davids has made three personnel changes and a positional switch to his starting line-up.

Yaw Penxe moves from the wing to fullback in place of Masixole Banda, while Michael Makase replaces Penxe on the right wing.

Oliver Zono will start at flyhalf ahead of Martin du Toit.

The only change up front sees Stephan Coetzee come in for injured captain Willemse.

The Kings are winless thus far in their maiden PRO14 season.
