The Bulls, four points behind the table-topping Stormers in the Africa One conference, will meet the unpredictable Jaguares in a match they have to win to stay in the play-off hunt.

Travis Ismaiel will start on the right wing, with Jamba Ulengo moving over to the left wing to fill the vacancy created by Basson's absence.

Burger Odendaal will start at inside centre in place of Serfontein.

Springbok Rudy Paige swap places at scrumhalf with Piet van Zyl, with the latter dropping down to the replacement bench.

Roelof Smit comes in at openside flank in place of Jannes Kirsten, who also drops down to the bench.

At locks Marvin Orie takes the place of Snyman, while Bandise Maku starts at hooker – in place of Strauss.
