Sunwolves head coach Mark Hammett has made three changes and one positional switch for this weekend’s Super Rugby match against the Southern Kings in Port Elizabeth.
All of the changes come in the forward pack and the backline that played the Bulls last week remains unchanged.
Timothy Bond returns to replace Liaki Moli who moves from five to six. Shinnosuke Kakinaga starts for Takuma Asahara in the front row.
Ed Quirk returns to the starting line up at No.8 which pushes Tomas Leonardi down to the replacements and Liaki Moli replaces Yoshiya Hosoda.
