The Bulls will be without the services of key man and Springbok Cameron Hanekom when they host the Sharks in Pretoria on Saturday.
The Bulls named a strong, but reshuffled lineup for their derby showdown tomorrow.
In a new-look back row, Hanekom has been rested with fellow Springbok Nizaam Carr taking over at No 8; in another direct Springbok swap, Marco van Staden comes in for Marcell Coetzee at openside flank, while Reinhardt Ludwig is the only one to retain his place in the loose trio, earning him the captaincy.
In the only other personnel change to the run-on XV, Ruan Vermaak starts at No 4 lock.
On the bench, former Springbok Aphiwe Dyantyi joins thee likes of Akker van der Merwe and Gerhard Steenekamp.
