“Despite the injuries the vibe in the camp is good,” Sekekete said on Friday. “We have a couple of youngsters eager to raise their hand and earn a spot in the team. There are five changes to the starting XV that went down 26-10 in Cardiff on 14 December. Sekekete binds up at No 5 in a pack that welcomes loosehead Henco van Wyk for Ferreira, Pieter Janse van Vuren for lock Carl Wegner, and flankers Daniel Maartens and Friedle Olivier for Gideon van der Merwe and Oupa Mohoje respectively.
