Juarno Augustus has been recalled to Northampton Saints’ starting lineup for the Champions Cup quarter-final clash with the Vodacom Bulls on Saturday.
Having played off the bench in last weekend’s round of 16 win against Munster, Augustus will don the No 8 jersey for the Saints in the quarter-final at Franklin’s Gardens.
Augustus, the 2017 Junior World Rugby Player of the Year, rotates into the lineup with England flank Lewis Ludlum in the only change to Northampton’s starting pack, captained by veteran loose forward Courtney Lawes.
England fullback George Furbank has recovered from a calf injury and is named on a bench featuring a six-two split between forwards and backs.
Northampton will be without former Bulls centre Burger Odendaal, whose place at inside centre is taking by Fraser Dingwall. England scrumhalf Alex Mitchell is promoted from the bench, after playing as a substitute against Munster.
