Marcell Coetzee will make his return from suspension when the Vodacom Bulls host three-time champions Saracens in their Champions Cup opener on Saturday.
Jake White has largely stuck with the same matchday squad that claimed a bonus-point victory over the Sharks in the Vodacom URC last week, as the Bulls look to kick-start their Champions Cup campaign with a statement win at Loftus Versfeld.

The starting lineup is unchanged from the team that won 44-10, with Elrigh Louw retaining the captaincy while young locks Reinhardt Ludwig and Janko Swanepoel are rewarded for their performance as a second-row combination.
Coetzee, who was suspended for his red card for a dangerous tackle in Edinburgh, makes his return from a two-game ban on the bench, in place of Nizaam Carr.
The only other change to the matchday-23 sees veteran outside back Sergeal Petersen called up as a substitute, replacing Sebastian de Klerk.
