Jones takes centre stage against Bulls
Scrumhalf Jano Vermaak, flyhalf Damian Willemse, centre Huw Jones, flank Jaco Coetzee and hooker Siyabonga Ntubeni all come into the starting line-up for the North-South derby.
Vermaak replaces the injured Dewaldt Duvenage and will partner Willemse at halfback, with Justin Phillips and Kurt Coleman on the replacements bench.
Jones makes his first start since returning from a hamstring injury and will line up at inside centre.
Both Coetzee and Ntubeni come into the starting line-up, with Ramone Samuels and Stephan de Wit on the replacements bench alongside lock Eddie Zandberg, who is in line to make his Currie Cup debut.
Western Province head coach John Dobson said that his team are looking forward to playing at Newlands again.
"It is alway a big game when the Blue Bulls come to Newlands and this will be no different.
"It has been a tough week for us, but the players are determined to rise to the occasion and show what we are capable of," he said.
