The Pumas have made two changes in personnel ahead of their Currie Cup meeting with the Free State Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Friday.
Up front Morgan Naudé comes in for Kwezi Mona at loosehead prop while Jeandré Rudolph is brought in at number eight for the fixture. Rudolph’s inclusion in the back-row means Willie Engelbrecht will shift to the flank where he joins the busy Marnus Schoeman.
The Pumas’ backline is retained from the group that lost 39-29 to the Blue Bulls as they look to pick up only their second win of the season.
Pumas: 15 Devon Williams, 14 Morné Joubert, 13 Neil Maritz, 12 Ryan Nell, 11 Ruwellyn Isbel, 10 Christopher Smith, 9 Stefan Ungerer, 8 Jeandré Rudolph, 7 Willie Engelbrecht, 6 Marnus Schoeman, 5 Hugo Kloppers (c), 4 Le Roux Roets, 3 Andrew Beerwinkel, 2 Marko Janse van Rensburg, 1 Morgan Naudé
