Coach Deon Davids has made four changes to the Kings’ starting lineup ahead of their game against Ulster in Port Elizabeth on Sunday.

The Kings have been boosted by the return of veteran prop Schalk Ferreira, who slots into the run-on XV at the expense of Justin Forwood.

In a direct swap in the second row, lock Bobby de Wee makes way for JC Astle.

There are also two changes and a positional change in the backline, with the inclusion of fullback Michael Botha and scrumhalf Godlen Masimla, while Yaw Penxe moves to the wing.

Ntubeni Dukisa is back to full fitness and will make his return from injury via the bench.

Kings – 15 Michael Botha, 14 Yaw Penxe, 13 Harlon Klassen, 12 Berton Klassen, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Masixole Banda, 9 Godlen Masimla, 8 Andisa Ntsila, 7 Martinus Burger, 6 Stephan de Wit, 5 JC Astle, 4 Schalk Oelofse, 3 Luvuyo Pupuma, 2 Michael Willemse (c), 1 Schalk Ferreira.
