Lions coach Ivan van Rooyen has stuck largely with the same group of players whove got the team into the top eight of the United Rugby Championship standings after nine games for the teams Gauteng derby against the Bulls in Joburg on Saturday, with kick-off at 2.30pm.
Three Springboks, namely Asenathi Ntlabakanye, Morne van den Berg and Quan Horn, are included in the team, while former SA Junior Boks star Batho Hlekani will wear the No 7 jersey.
Van Rooyen, whose team sit seventh in the standings, said he was expecting a different Bulls team to the one the Lions played against, and beat, at Loftus towards the end of last year.
