Kurt-Lee Arendse shifts to fullback, while Wandisile Simelane and Bismarck du Plessis have been recalled as Jake White made several changes to the Vodacom Bulls team to face the Dragons tomorrow.

Arendse replaces Johan Goosen, who drops to the bench, in one of several tweaks to the Bulls backline from the Vodacom United Rugby Championship derby defeat to the Sharks last week.

Simelane, who has featured mostly at No 15 and wing after joining the Bulls from the Lions in the off-season, starts at outside centre for the URC clash at Rodney Parade.

The front row remains the same, with the only switch taking place between prop Gerard Steenekamp and Simphiwe Matanzima, who swop jerseys.

The replacements see the addition of Du Plessis, who comes into the matchday 23, with Jan-Hendrik Wessels missing out due to a niggle. Scrumhalf Embrose Papier returns to the matchday 23 to take a place on the bench with veteran utility back Cornal Hendricks.
