The hapless Leopards have made a number of changes to their team as they search for their first Currie Cup win of the season.
Lock Edrich Linde has been replaced in the second row by Anthonie Gronum in one of four changes ahead of their Round Eight encounter with the Lions in Johannesburg on Friday.
Reginald Kember comes in on the blindside flank (No.7), with captain Wilhelm Koch moving to the openside and Christo van Niekerk dropping down to the bench.
In the only backline change, Shuaib Samaai starts on the left-wing in place of Dumisani Matyeshana, who drops out of the matchday 22 altogether.
