Embrose Papier and Eli Snyman will return to the Vodacom Bulls starting lineup for their clash against the Sharks in Durban on Saturday.
Both players were on the bench for the 56-20 loss to the Chiefs at Loftus last weekend.
Papier once again rotates with Ivan van Zyl, who started the last two outings, but drops down to the bench for this match.
Meanwhile, Snyman takes his place in the second row, which allows Hanro Liebenberg to shift back to his regular position in the loose trio. Jannes Kirsten is named a substitute as a result.
The Bulls have also been boosted by the return of Johnny Kotzé from illness, with the back taking the place of Dylan Sage on the bench.
Bulls – 15 Divan Rossouw, 14 Cornal Hendricks, 13 Jesse Kriel, 12 Burger Odendaal, 11 Rosko Specman, 10 Handre Pollard (c), 9 Embrose Papier, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Hanro Liebenberg, 6 Ruan Steenkamp, 5 Eli Snyman, 4 Jason Jenkins, 3 Trevor Nyakane, 2 Schalk Brits, 1 Lizo Gqoboka.
Subs: 16 Corniel Els, 17 Simpiwe Matanzima, 18 Conrad van Vuuren, 19 Jannes Kirsten, 20 Tim Agaba, 21 Ivan van Zyl, 22 Manie Libbok, 23 Johnny Kotzé.
