Good news is than Dan has recovered from what looked at the time to be a serious neck injury. Sbu Nkosi is unfortunately ruled out for about 8-12 weeks due to an ankle injury, and will be replaced by Kobus van Wyk. Mapimpi replaces van Wyk on the bench. Beast moves back into jersey #1. Apart from that Rob du Preez Sr has stuck to pretty much the same team from last week.
