The other change to the tight five sees the return of JC Astle to the starting second row, alongside skipper Steven Sykes.
Ntando Kebe comes back at scrumhalf for James Hall, while Elgar Watts gets a start at flyhalf for Louis Fouche, who has played in all of the games so far and finds himself on the bench
Stefan Watermeyer returns to outside centre, and Jaco van Tonder, is the new fullback in place of the injured Malcolm Jaer.
