Jean Deysel will remain captain despite regular Super Rugby captain Keegan Daniel included in the team to play the Toyota Free State Cheetahs in Durban on Saturday.
Daniel has been released from Springbok duty.
Meyer Bosman is also back after missing last week’s game, resulting in Marius Joubert and Francois Kleinhans moving to the bench.
Newly-recruited Pieter Dixon will be on the bench at hooker, while Rosko Specman replaces Gouws Prinsloo in the number 22 jersey.
