Lock Ruan Delport will captain a formidable Fidelity ADT Lions squad as they host rivals Vodacom Bulls XV in Round Three of the Carling Currie Cup Premier Division on Saturday, 1 August 2026 at the UJ Rugby Stadium in Westdene at 17:05 SAST.
Head coach Mziwakhe Nkosi has prioritised consistency in combinations following last week's dominant performance, opting for only two positional shifts in the starting backline and a direct bench swap.
Only two changes were made to the starting line-up. Fullback and Junior Springbok Gilermo Mentoe makes his senior debut for the Lions, while the electric scrumhalf Asad Moos will start ahead of Zian Cilliers.
