Emirates Lions head coach Ivan van Rooyen will rely on Lubabalo Dobela to spearhead his attack as his side welcomes Welsh opponents Ospreys in the final round of the Vodacom United Rugby Championship this Saturday.
The nifty flyhalf, formerly with the Griquas, will relish the opportunity to start this weekend after making a few cameos in recent matches.
Elsewhere, Ruan Venter continues his role in the number four jumper, while Saturday also sees the return of loose head prop Juan Schoeman.
Speedster Edwill van der Merwe and centre Marius Louw (off the bench) will make their final appearances in Lions colours on Saturday after immense contributions in seasons past.
Centre Henco van Wyk returns at outside centre after being a last-minute omission last week due to illness.
Speaking ahead of this weekend's clash, tight head prop, and one of the team's leaders, Asenathi Ntlabakanye, spoke about how his side would like to end the season on a positive note, especially for teammates Edwill van der Merwe and Marius Louw.
"This weekend is an opportunity for us to send off some guys on a positive note and play high-quality rugby," said Ntlabakanye.
"For Edwill and Marius, who are leaving, we must send them off well. They have been great servants to the Lions. We need to put a spectacle for them and end the season off on a high note," he concluded.
