For the home team, Marcel Theunissen will start at flank in one of three changes to their pack, but coach Jerome Paarwater has not tampered with the backline that started in the 48-36 win over the Lions. Paarwater said they are looking to improve from their win over the Lions. “It has been a very short turnaround between games, but our combinations should be a little more settled, so hopefully we will see more cohesion,” he said.

In his starting line-up, Smal has included prop Simphiwe Matanzima, hooker Bismarck du Plessis and flanker Marcell Coetzee, who will captain the side, as part of a powerful pack. “We are looking forward to a tough physical battle and some entertaining rugby, which we have become accustomed to when these two sides face each other.”
