Cape Town - The Sunwolves have made six changes to their starting line-up for the Super Rugby clash with the Waratahs at Allianz Stadium in Sydney on Saturday.
Ryuji Noguchi has come in for Gerhard van den Heever at full-back, while Yutaka Nagare has been included at the expense of Keisuke Uchida at scrum-half. Nagare will also captain the side.
Meanwhile, there is an all-new loose trio, as Kazuki Himeno, Edward Quirk and Michael Leitch replace Yoshitaka Tokunaga, Shunsuke Nunomaki and Willie Britz respectively.
The final change sees Grant Hattingh preferred over Uwe Helu in the number five jersey, with Sunwolves interim head coach Tony Brown sticking with the same front-row that did him justice in last weekend's win over the Bulls.
