Arendse starts at fullback in place of Wandisile Simelane, while Moodie comes in at right wing for Sibongile Novuka.

Harold Vorster also starts at inside centre, with David Kriel moving to left wing in place of Sbu Nkosi.

White also opted for a new halfback combination, with Chris Smith starting at flyhalf in place of Morne Steyn and Zak Burger for Embrose Papier at scrumhalf.
