New Bulls recruit, Luan Giliomee, will play his first match for his new team since joining from the Sharks when the Pretoria-based side take on Stade Francais in a Champions Cup match at Loftus on Saturday.
Giliomee will run out at fullback, with Handre Pollard also back in the side, at flyhalf.
Flanker Elrigh Louw will captain the team.
There are a number of changes to the side that ran out in the United Rugby Championship win against the Lions last weekend, with Sango Xamlashe getting a chance in midfield, while Jan-Hendrik Wessels will have a chance to show what he can do as the starting hooker.
In all, there are six Springbok Test players in the starting XV with a further four on the bench, among them fit-again No 9 Embrose Papier.
Among some of the players rested are Canan Moodie, Curwin Bosch and Hanro Liebenberg, who captained the side last week.
The match on Saturday kicks off at 2pm.
