Johannesburg - Lions coach John Mitchell has made only one change to the side that beat Western Province at Coca-Cola Park last weekend for the vital Currie Cup match against Griquas at the same venue on Saturday.
Kick-off is at 15:00.
Lock George Earle has slight concussion and has been replaced by Johan Snyman who was so outstanding against the Leopards two weeks ago.
Griquas are a single log point behind the Lions and a win for either team is extremely important with five teams bunched within four points on the log.
