Champions Cup: Johan Grobbelaar leads Bulls against Saracens

Springbok hooker Johan Grobbelaar has been named captain for the Bulls' Champions Cup clash against Saracens in London on Saturday.

Bulls Director of Rugby Jake White has made several changes to the line-up that beat Connacht 28-14 in the United Rugby Championship last weekend.

Bok Gerhard Steenekamp also returns to the starting line-up in the No.1 jersey. Marco van Staden takes over the No.6 jersey from Marcell Coetzee and Cameron Hanekom comes in for the suspended Mpilo Gumede at No.8.

In the backline, Canan Moodie gets a shot at outside centre after playing on the wing last weekend. It means David Kriel will move to inside centre.

Devon Williams comes into the starting line-up in the No.11 jersey with Sebastian De Klerk moving to the other wing this week.

Bulls - 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Sebastian De Klerk, 13 Canan Moodie, 12 David Kriel, 11 Devon Williams, 10 Johan Goosen, 9 Embrose Papier, 8 Cameron Hanekom, 7 Cobus Wiese, 6 Marco van Staden, 5 JF van Heerden, 4 Ruan Vermaak, 3 Francois Klopper, 2 Johan Grobbelaar (c), 1 Gerhard Steenekamp
