Two backline changes have been made. Rory Kockott returns from a week's suspension in place of Charl McLeod and Brad Barritt has not recovered from the concussion he sustained against the Waratahs last weekend. Riaan Swanepoel will pair up with Adrian Jacobs in the midfield.
Keegan Daniel is preferred to Jacques Botes while John Smit and Jannie du Plessis are the other rotational changes, the former starting at tighthead prop in what looks like the probable Springbok front row against the British and Irish Lions.
Kick-off is at 18:05.
