Two Springboks will make their return from injury during a Vodacom Bulls tour that includes matches against Pau and Edinburgh.
Winger Kurt-Lee Arendse and utility back Canan Moodie are back having completed concussion protocols.
Former Junior Boks wing Cheswill Jooste is also included having recovered from a shoulder injury.
However, Bok prop Gerhard Steenekamp misses out due to injury, while No 8 Cameron Hanekom’s rehabilitation from a knee injury continues.

The Bulls are looking for their first win of a disappointing Investec Champions Cup campaign against Pau at the Stade du Hameau on Friday night. The French club are second on the Top 14 log and beat the Scarlets away on Saturday.
Johan Ackermann’s men then travel to Edinburgh to resume their Vodacom URC campaign.
The Bulls are on a seven-match losing streak across competitions.
