Bulls coach Heyneke Meyer has made just one injury-enforced change and a positional switch to his team for their Super 14 Round Six encounter with the Waratahs at the Aussie Stadium in Sydney on Saturday.
Jaco van der Westhuyzen moves from the right wing to fullback in the place of the injured Johan Roets, while Akona Ndungane returns to the starting line-up in the number 14 jersey – vacated by Van der Westhuyzen’s shift.
Marius Delport comes in on the bench in the place left open by Ndungane’s promotion.
Fly-half Derick Hougaard has fully recovered from the knocks he took in the 19-7 win over the Brumbies.
The pack, as was expected, remains unchanged – despite a patchy performance in the set pieces against the Brumbies.
Bulls: 15 Jaco van der Westhuyzen, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JP Nel, 12 Wayne Julies, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Derick Hougaard, 9 Fourie du Preez, 8 Pedrie Wannenburg, 7 Wikus van Heerden, 6 Danie Rossouw, 5 Victor Matfield (c), 4 Bakkies Botha, 3 Danie Thiart, 2 Gary Botha, 1 Gurthro Steenkamp
