Jake White has made just four changes to the Vodacom Bulls matchday lineup for the away Champions Cup clash against Exeter Chiefs on Saturday.
The Bulls boss maintained the majority of the squad that did duty in the opening victory over Lyon in Pretoria last Saturday.
Two of the changes are injury-enforced, as lock Janko Swanepoel and centre Chris Smit replace Jacques du Plessis and Marco Jansen van Vuren respectively.
Swanepoel’s inclusion means that Reinhardt Ludwig shifts to the No 4 jersey, while another positional switch sees Muller Uys and WJ Steenkamp swap jerseys in the back row.
Hooker Joe van Zyl, loose forward Cameron Hanekom and rookie back Carlton Bannies are new inclusions among the substitutes.
