Marcell Coetzee returns to the No 6 jersey and will captain the Bulls against Ulster in the United Rugby Championship at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
The Bulls kick off at 1.45pm. The Stormers then host the Scarlets at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town at 4pm, IOL reported.
The two matches follow mixed results for the Sharks and Lions, who both played overseas on Friday night.
The Bulls have been in strong form at home. In their last two matches at Loftus Versfeld, they scored 50 points against the Lions and 50 against Stade Francais.
According to IOL, the altitude in Pretoria and heat of about 30 degrees often make life hard for visiting teams. This is especially true for sides travelling from the northern hemisphere.
Coach Johan Ackermann has picked Handre Pollard at flyhalf and Paul de Wet at scrumhalf. Luan Giliomee starts at fullback, with Sebastian de Klerk and Cheswill Jooste on the wings.
Elrigh Louw plays at No 8 and Hanro Liebenberg at No 7. Marco van Staden, Cameron Hanekom, Zak Burger and Curwin Bosch are among the replacements.
Ulster will be led by hooker Tom Stewart. Their team includes Jacob Stockdale at fullback, Stuart McCloskey at inside centre and Juarno Augustus at No 8. Eli Snyman is on the bench.
Ru Campbell of the Scottish Rugby Union will referee the match at Loftus. South Africans Stephan Geldenhuys and Sean Muller are the assistant referees.
In Cape Town, the Stormers will try to keep their unbeaten start to the season. They have a good record against the Welsh side, including a 34-0 away win last season.
Young scrumhalf Haashim Pead will make his first start for the Stormers. The former Lions player has come off the bench in two earlier matches.
Coach John Dobson has named Paul de Villiers as captain. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu starts at flyhalf, with Warrick Gelant at fullback and Evan Roos at No 7.
Wandisile Simelane and Markus Muller form the centre pairing. Seabelo Senatla and Leolin Zas are on the wings. Cobus Reinach and Deon Fourie are among the replacements.
The Scarlets will be captained by flanker Josh Macleod. IOL said the Welsh side has shown good form in the opening weeks of the season.
