Lions Super Rugby head coach Johan Ackermann has named a team with two changes for this weekend’s match against the Southern Kings in Johannesburg on Sunday.
Robbie Coetzee gets a start as part of the rotation system while Faf de Klerk starts in the place of Ross Cronjé, who is attending his brothers’ wedding this weekend.
Ruan Combrinck gets another start after coming into the team at the last minute last weekend.
Jaco Kriel makes his return to action from the bench should he get a run after a month lay-off due to injury.
Corné Fourie will play in his 50th Super Rugby game should he take the field from the bench.
