Pumas change six for Bulls
Two of those changes to the team that held the Cheetahs to a draw last week were injury-enforced with Marnus Schoeman coming in for Jaco Bouwer on the flank and Hoffman Maritz replacing JW Bell at fullback.
There are two more changes to the forward pack with hooker Francois du Toit coming in with Frank Herne moving to the bench and Rudi Mathee replacing Marius Coetzer who also finds himself amongst the replacements.
In the backline there are two further changes with Jerome Pretorius moving from wing to outside centre to fill the gap left by Maritz and Bernardo Botha starting on the wing in place of Pretorius.
Skipper Stefan Watermeyer wins his 50th cap as the Nelspruit side look to end the season on a high with a major scalp.
