Adriaanse gets first start for Bulls
The 32-year-old came off the bench four times this year for the Pretoria side, but will earn a first start in place of Trevor Nyakane, who is rested, in one of two changes to the Bulls pack.
The other change sees Jason Jenkins will start at lock, swopping places with Rudolph Snyman from last weekend's starting pack against the Jaguares. Snyman will play off the bench.
Bulls coach Nollis Marais also made an enforced change in his backline.
Jan Serfontein is being rested as per SARU agreement, resulting in Jesse Kriel moving into the No.13 jersey. Warrick Gelant slots into the fullback position, with Duncan Naude coming onto the bench in the matchday 23.
Strauss will play in his 138th match in Super Rugby, a South African record for a hooker.
