At flyhalf, Marnitz Boshoff will take the place of the injured Elton Jantjies, while Lionel Cronjé and Lionel Mapoe will pair up in the midfield at 12 and 13 respectively.
Chrysander Botha also returns from injury and will start at wing, with Andries Coetzee shifting to fullback.
Up front, lock Willie Britz has been promoted from the bench.
