Ntabeni Dukisa takes over the No.10 jersey for this week's match.

In the pack, Lusanda Badiyana replaces Andisa Ntsila in the back row. In the second row, Bobby de Wee moves from No.5 to No.4 with Lubabalo Mtyanda joining him in the second row.

in the front row Rossouw de Klerk takes over the No.3 jersey from Pieter Scholtz.

Following the heartbreak of an injury-time defeat to the Cheetahs, Cardiff Blues head coach Danny Wilson has reshuffled his side as they look to move a step closer to European qualification.

Four of the changes come in the pack with Scott Andrews given the nod in the front-row and Josh Turnbull coming into the second-row. Nick Williams starts at No.8 and Ellis Jenkins captains the side from the openside flank.

In the backs, Gareth Anscombe switches to fullback with Jarrod Evans partnering Tomos Williams at scrumhalf, while Rey Lee-Lo returns to the centre.
