Hooker Scarra Ntubeni also makes a rare start with Bongi Mbonambi dropping to the bench in the other change to the pack while JJ Engelbrecht starts at outside centre in place of the injured Ruhan Nel.The Bulls thrashed the Stormers 40-3 in round one of the 2019 campaign but have also struggled for consistency this season.
