The Lions have brought back fullback Andries Coetzee to the last line of defence while a refurbished midfield, comprising of Tyler Bocks and Rynhardt Jonker will start the match.
Ruben Schoeman comes in to partner Darrien Landsberg at lock while flanker Jarod Cairns earned himself a starting role after impressing from the bench last weekend.
Following the Pumas’ mauling of the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld last Sunday, the Lions will be wary of what to expect and will need to look inward to stop the first half points-spree that Western Province took control of the game with.
The Lions have again gone with a six-two bench for the clash.
