Nizaam Carr will captain a Vodacom Bulls side missing a host of Springbok stars for the Champions Cup quarter-final clash with Northampton Saints on Saturday.
Jake White named a heavily changed Vodacom Bulls side for Saturday’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 halfback 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.
