Springbok Marcell Coetzee will wear the Bulls' No 8 jersey in the absence of Cameron Hanekom in the United Rugby Championship Grand Final against Leinster on Saturday at Croke Park in Dublin (6 pm kick-off).
Director of rugby Jake White made one enforced change to his side for their second consecutive final of the tournament, with Bok Marco van Staden taking over as flanker and Coetzee making a positional switch. The rest of the starting team is unchanged from the one that defeated the Sharks in the semis last weekend.

There is one change on the bench, with veteran Nizaam Carr taking his place amongst the replacements with Van Staden promoted to the starting XV.
Embrose Papier and Johan Goosen will again be tasked with leading the Bulls' attacking plays as the form halfback-pairing, while Canan Moodie and Sebastian de Klerk form a potent attacking back-three.
A new winner will be crowned on Saturday, and for the first time, the final will take place outside of South Africa.
