Gold has made two changes to the starting team which beat the Southern Kings 43-8 in Port Elizabeth last weekend.

Springbok back JP Pietersen is back and starts at left wing in place of Lwazi Mvovo.

Mvovo was not considered for selection due to an ankle injury suffered against the Kings. He will be available for selection next week.

Up front, Springbok lock Stephan Lewies has recovered from injury and replaces Hyron Andrews.

Andrews moves down to the bench, with Dave McDuling dropping out of the match-day squad.
