The Lions have been boosted by the return of Morné van den Berg for Saturday’s Vodacom URC match against the Glasgow Warriors at Ellis Park.
The Springbok scrumhalf missed the win against the Dragons in late March due to a leg injury. Nico Steyn, who started that match at No 9, drops to the bench while Haashim Pead misses out altogether.
In the other change to the XV, Richard Kriel replaces the injured Bronson Mills at inside centre.
The Lions also welcome back loose forward JC Pretorius and winger Kelly Mpeku, who are both named on the bench.
The Lions are fifth on the log after a four-match winning run, while Glasgow are looking to hold on to top spot.
