Lock David Meihuizen comes into the starting line-up in the only change to the DHL Western Province team to face the Toyota Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
Meihuizen joins JD Schickerling in the second row for the Carling Currie Cup encounter against the Free State side, which kicks off at 16h30 on Saturday at Toyota Stadium.
The front row duo of Scarra Ntubeni and Neethling Fouche return from injury to take their places on the replacements bench, along with loose forward Marcel Theunissen.
DHL Western Province Head Coach John Dobson said that his team are intent on delivering an accurate performance in Bloemfontein.
“The continuity in selection this week will hopefully help us to build some momentum and play with some fluency.
