URC: Bulls rotate key personnel for Scarlets matchup

The two rivals meet at 20:35 (South African Time). Jan-hendrik Wessels will start at prop alongside skipper, Akker van der Merwe who will be at hooker with Wilco Louw completing the front row at 3. Ruan Vermaak has a new partner at lock in Cobus Wiese whilst Kuyenzeka Xaba comes in to pair up with Reinhardt Ludwig at flank. Cameron Hanekom slots in at eight.

Zak Burger gets a start at scrumhalf with Boeta Chamberlain continuing to serve the Tshwane outfit at flyhalf. Behind the halfbacks Kurt-Lee Arendse and Sebastian de Klerk are retained at left and right wing, respectively, with Harold Vorster returning to the matchday fold at inside centre. Vorster, who was sidelined by a broken nose has recovered from his nasal repair and will pair up with Canan Moodie who will line up at outside centre. Henry Immelman will marshal the troops from fullback.

White has gone with a five-three split impact squad that will see Johan Grobbelaar, Dylan Smith, Francois Klopper, JF van Heerden, Celimpilo Gumede, Embrose Papier, Chris Barend Smit and Stedman Gans all on notice to support the charge for the win in the North West of Swansea.

"They [Scarlets] are the one Welsh team that has beaten us," said White. 

"They did not only beat Cardiff last week but drew with Benetton also, so they are a difficult team that we take seriously.

"Every game we play as a franchise is important. It doesn't matter whether we are playing at home or away. Whenever we wear our club jersey, there is an expectation to win. That doesn't change whether it's the second game on tour, we just got to make sure we play as much as we can when we run out onto the field."
