Jake White keeps the faith with Bulls side for Exeter clash

The Bulls have kept changes to a minimum as they prepare to chase down back-to-back wins in the Champions Cup against Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park on Saturday.

Director of Rugby Jake White has mostly maintained consistency to his personnel, making four changes to the matchday 23 that triumphed over Lyon a week ago.

Both Janko Swanepoel and Chris Barend Smit come into the starting XV from the bench, with Swanepoel slotting in at no 5 as Reinhardt Ludwig shifts to the No 4 position in place of Jacques du Plessis.

Smit comes in at 12 in place of injured Marco Jansen van Vuuren.

Muller Uys and WJ Steenkamp swap jerseys whilst Joe van Zyl, Cameron Hanekom and Carlton Bannies join this week's impact squad.

The Pool A clash is scheduled to kick off at 15h00 South African time.

Bulls - 15. Wandisile Simelane, 14 Sibongile Novuka, 13 Stedman Gans, 12 Chris Barend Smit, 11 Stravino Jacobs, 10 Morne Steyn (c), 9 Bernard van der Linde, 8 WJ Steenkamp, 7. Muller Uys, 6 Nizaam Carr, 5 Janko Swanepoel, 4 Reinhardt Ludwig, 3 Jacques van Rooyen, 2 Bismarck Du Plessis, 1 Dylan Smith.
