Jake White named a heavily changed Vodacom Bulls side for today’s quarter-final at Franklin’s Gardens, with Bok trio Kurt-Lee Arendse, Willie le Roux and Canan Moodie among those left in Pretoria for the match.

Carr takes over the captaincy, starting in a back row alongside Mpilo Gumede and fit-again No 8 Cameron Hanekom.

Akker van der Merwe starts at hooker and is flanked by Simphiwe Matanzima and Mornay Smith, while Janko Swanepoel pairs JF van Heerden in a youthful second row.

Zak Burger and Chris Smith will resume their half-back partnership in a backline that otherwise has a fresh look to it – Harold Vorster and utility back Henry Immelman form the midfield, while Stravino Jacobs and Sebastian de Klerk are either side of fullback Devon Williams.
