Johannesburg - Xerox Lions coach John Mitchell has retained the same starting side and bench that beat the Free State Cheetahs last weekend for Friday night's Absa Currie Cup rugby match against the Pumas in Witbank - a match Pumas coach Jimmy Stonehouse has intimated they are targeting for their second win in the campaign.
Last week's thrilling 30-26 victory over the Cheetahs was the Lions' second of the season and an important win as it put them back within striking distance of the other sides on the Currie Cup log.
