Canan Moodie will start at fullback as the Vodacom Bulls named a heavily rotated side to face the Griffons in Pretoria on Saturday.

Co-captains Jannes Kirsten and Cornal Hendricks, as well as scrumhalf Zak Burger, are the only players to retain their spots in the Vodacom Bulls’ starting lineup from the thrilling draw with the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.

Moodie, who made his return from injury on the wing for the Bulls, shifts to fullback, with Boeta Chamberlain moving to flyhalf.

Veteran utility back Henry Immelman and 26-year-old Sibongile Novuka are the wings, with Lionel Mapoe forming an experienced midfield with Hendricks.
