The Lions have made one change to the side that narrowly lost to the Sharks in Durban last week.

Dusty Noble makes his return to the side after an injury, and Michael Killian is moved to the bench. The rest of the team remains the same and Coach Hans Coetzee is full of confidence that his Lions side can cause an upset come Saturday.

The Lion’s scrum has been impressive all season and dominated the Bok front row of the Sharks last Saturday. Kevin Buys, sustained an elbow injury but recovered in time and retained his place in the line-up.

The impressive centre partnership of Doppes la Grange and Jannie Boshoff has been given another opportunity, while Chris Jonck, after a fantastic performance in his last outing, has another start at scrumhalf. 

“We have one game to go, and we are playing for pride. We want to give our supporters something to be happy about and proud with”, Hans Coetzee said
