John Mitchell has made three personnel changes and as many positional shifts to the Bulls side ahead of their match against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires.

In the injury-enforced absence of Burger Odendaal (rib injury), Lood de Jager (torn pectoral muscle) and Lizo Gqoboka (torn toe tendon), Mitchell has brought in Manie Libbok, Thembelani Bholi and Conraad van Vuuren as their replacements in the run-on XV.

Libbok will play at flyhalf with Handré Pollard taking over from Odendaal at inside centre.

Bholi is set to start at blindside flank with Jason Jenkins shifting from the side of the scrum to No 5, while Trevor Nyakane switches from tighthead to loosehead prop in place of Gqoboka. Van Vuuren comes in to plug a gap at No 3.

Prop Mox Mxoli, lock Hendré Stassen and centre JT Jackson have been added to the bench.

Bulls – 15 Warrick Gelant, 14 Travis Ismaiel, 13 Jesse Kriel, 12 Handré Pollard (c), 11 Johnny Kotze, 10 Manie Libbok, 9 Ivan van Zyl, 8 Marco van Staden, 7 Thembelani Bholi, 6 Roelof Smit, 5 Jason Jenkins, 4 RG Snyman, 3 Conraad van Vuuren, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Trevor Nyakane.

Subs: 16 Jaco Visagie, 17 Frans van Wyk, 18 Mox Mxoli, 19 Hendré Stassen, 20 Nic de Jager, 21 André Warner, 22 JT Jackson, 23 Divan Rossouw.
