The Broncos have two changes, with Kotoni Staggs dropping out of the 17, replaced by Patrick Mago on the bench in jersey #18. The other change is the same as last week, with Joe Ofahengaue starting in the front row and Matt Lodge starting from the interchange bench. Souths have no changes and are 1-17.
