Southern Kings head coach Deon Davids made just one change to his starting XV that will face the Rebels at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
After beating the Waratahs, the team will be eager to claim back-to-back victories while gaining momentum ahead of a bye next week.
In a rotational change, Davids has named Martin Bezuidenhout as the side’s starting hooker while Michael Willemse, who produced a star performance in last weekend’s victory in Sydney, will provide back up on the bench this time around.
Stefaan Willemse will also return to the team on the bench as loose forward cover following an ankle injury to Ruaan Lerm.
The rest of the Southern Kings squad remains the same as the head coach hopes for consistency from his charges.
