Sunwolves head coach Jamie Joseph has made several changes to his XV that will face the Reds at Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
On the back of a defeat to the Hurricanes a fortnight ago, Joseph switches some backs and forwards as his side looks to bounce back at home.
Semisi Masirewa starts at full-back while there is a switch of wings for Kenki Fukuoka and Hosea Saumaki, with Yutaka Nagare at scrum-half.
In the second-row Wimpie van der Walt starts alongside Grant Hattingh while Edward Quirk and Michael Leitch come in on the flanks for the game.
