Coach Heyneke Meyer has responded to calls to include the 20-year-old fly-half at the expense of his regular 10, the out-of-form Morne Steyn.
Goosen's selection is one of three changes, with locks Andries Bekker and Eben Etzebeth also recalled.
There could be a fourth alteration too, with Francois Steyn battling an ankle injury and Jaco Taute standing by.
