Patrick Lambie will captain the side with number eight Tera Mtembu his deputy in a team with a blend of youth and experience.
The backline is packed with potential, with the likes of Andre Esterhuizen and Lukhanyo Am combining in the midfield.
New recruit Kobus Van Dyk will join Springbok Lwazi Mvovo and the talented Curwin Bosch in the back three.
The backline is completed by internationals Cobus Reinach and Lambie as the half backs.
In the pack, the loose trio has a young feel with Jean-Luc du Preez and Mtembu being complemented by the seasoned Philip Van Der Walt.
