Coach Heyneke Meyer has swapped his halves with flyhalf Morne Steyn returning alongside Ruan Pienaar to replace Pat Lambie and Fourie du Preez for Saturday's clash.
The changes in the forwards are in the tight five.
Eben Etzebeth comes in for Bakkies Botha at lock, props Coenie Oosthuizen and Tendai Mtawarira replace Frans Malherbe and Gurthro Steenkamp, and vice-captain Bismarck du Plessis wins his 57th cap in place of Adriaan Strauss.
