Springbok flanker Arno Botha will start for the Vodacom Blue Bulls at flank when they face the Leopards XV in a Vodacom Cup match at Loftus Versfeld B on Friday.
The flanker, who is returning to full fitness after almost no rugby in the past 18 months, played off the bench when the Blue Bulls opened their Cup campaign with a win over the Hino Valke last week.
He replaces Nardus van der Walt, who moves to the bench.
There is also a change at the back, where Vodacom Blue Bulls coach Nollis Marais will have to do without Akona Ndungane, who returned to the Vodacom Bulls. His place at fullback is taken by Ganfried May.
Marvin Orie will again lead the troops into battle.
Kick-off is at 15h30.
The team to play the Leopards is: Ganfried May, Travis Ismaiel, Marquit September, Warrick Gelant, Jamba Ulengo, Kobus Marais, Ivan van Zyl, Jacques Engelbrecht, Arno Botha, Roelof Smit, Marvin Orie (c), RG Snyman, Basil Short, Arno van Wyk, Du Toit Genis. Replacements: Jan van der Merwe, Hencus van Wyk, Nicolaas Janse van Rensburg, Nardus van der Walt, Kefentse Mahlo, Kurt Webster, Jade Stighling.
