Boland call up Namibian flyhalf
A notable change to the team sees the return of Namibian international Theuns Kotze in the No.10 jersey.
Kotze will get his first start for Boland this season since returning from international duties.
Wayne Wilschut replaces Jordaan at No.8, with Joubert Horn getting his first start at lock.

Other regulars in the squad like Chadley Wenn (knee), Chaney Willemse (fractured hand), William van Wyk (hip) and Ferdi Horn (shoulder) were also not considered due to injuries.
