Consistency was key for the Xerox Lions coaches who rewarded the performance of last week going into the big Carling Currie Cup clash against the Cell C Sharks at Emirates Airline Park on Saturday.
Try scorers from the previous match all got the nod and Jannie du Plessis, Willem Alberts and André Warner will get another run this week.
Two injury scares this week necessitates brackets on the team list, that being Sti Sithole and Vincent Tshituka. They have niggling injuries and will undergo late fitness tests. Should they not be cleared, Dylan Smith and Wilhelm van der Sluys will move into the starting line-up.
Back in the mix are Burger Odendaal and Jamba Ulengo who should both take to the field as impact players from the bench.
Kick-off will remain at 19:00 as no thunder and lightning are predicted at this stage.
