The Vodacom Bulls have made a late change for Saturday’s URC match at Cape Town Stadium.
Scrumhalf Paul de Wet has been ruled out of the clash against his former team due to a calf injury, with Embrose Papier starting at nine and Keagan Johannes coming onto the bench.
The Bulls are currently 12th on the URC log and looking to end a five-match losing streak across competitions.
Kick-off is at 6pm.
