Meihuizen joins JD Schickerling in the second row for the Carling Currie Cup encounter against the Free State side, which kicks off at 16h30 on Saturday at Toyota Stadium and will be broadcast live on SuperSport.

Jaco Coetzee, a late replacement for Springbok captain Siya Kolisi last weekend, retains the No 6 jersey, next to Johan du Toit and Juarno Augustus in the loose trio.

The front row duo of Scarra Ntubeni (hooker) and Neethling Fouche (prop) are back from injury to take their places on the replacements bench, along with loose forward Marcel Theunissen.

DHL Western Province head coach John Dobson said that his team is intent on delivering an accurate performance in Bloemfontein.

"The continuity in selection this week will hopefully help us to build some momentum and play with some fluency," said Dobson.

"We know that it will take an 80-minute performance in Bloemfontein this weekend if we are to come away with the result that we are looking for."
