Jake White has been forced to make three changes to the Vodacom Bulls match-day 23 to face Benetton in Treviso on Friday due to illness in the camp.

The versatile Keagan Johannes has been promoted from the bench to flyhalf for the URC round 6 clash at Stadio Comunale di Monigo, in place of the ill Boeta Chamberlain. Centre Stedman Gans and speedster Sebastian de Klerk have also been ruled out.

Zak Burger has been drafted into the squad as the reserve scrumhalf. Chris Barend Smit and Harold Vorster complete a 5-3 split among the replacements.
