Jesse Kriel will start on the left wing for the Bulls against the Hurricanes at Loftus on Saturday.

Kriel moves out wide in place of Sibahle Maxwane, who suffered a concussion on debut last weekend against the Lions. Warrick Gelant comes into the starting lineup to plug the gap at fullback.

Tiaan Schoeman returns at flyhalf after Francois Brummer was ruled out with a muscle sprain.

There are two changes in the front row, where tighthead prop Jacobie Adriaanse and hooker Adriaan Strauss come in ahead of Trevor Nyanake and Jaco Visagie. Flank Hanro Liebenberg retains the captaincy despite Strauss’ return.

Bulls – 15 Warrick Gelant, 14 Jade Stighling, 13 Jan Serfontein, 12 Burger Odendaal, 11 Jesse Kriel, 10 Tiaan Schoeman, 9 Rudy Paige, 8 Hanro Liebenberg (c), 7 Jannes Kirsten, 6 Ruan Steenkamp, 5 Lood de Jager, 4 Jason Jenkins, 3 Jacobie Adriaanse, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Lizo Gqoboka.
Subs: 16 Jaco Visagie, 17 Pierre Schoeman, 18 Coenraad van Vuuren, 19 Abongile Nonkontwana, 20 Nic de Jager, 21 Ivan van Zyl, 22 Tony Jantjies, 23 Ulrich Beyers.
