Cape Town - Sunwolves head coach Filo Tiatia has rung the changes for this weekend's trip to Hamilton to take on the Chiefs.
Three of those changes come in the backs, starting on the wing where Teruya Goto comes into the side, with Derek Carpenter also starting to partner Will Tupou in midfield.
Hayden Cripps gets the nod at flyhalf meanwhile ahead of Yu Tamura, who drops to the bench.
Shunsuki Nunomaki starts at openside flanker, with Willie Britz and Ed Quirk remaining in the back row, while at lock Shinya Makabe takes over from Uwe Helu.
Finally in the front row Takeshi Kizu at hooker and Heiichiro Ito at tighthead prop both come into the starting XV, as the Sunwolves chase a second win of the season.
