Johannesburg - Golden Lions interim coach Johan Ackermann stuck with continuity in his selection for his team’s Currie Cup match against the Free State Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
Ackermann on Thursday made no changes to the starting line-up that beat the Blue Bulls in Pretoria last weekend.
He made three changes to his bench with Ruan Dryer replacing prop CJ van der Linde while Etienne Oosthuizen could also make an appearance off the bench.
Jaco Kriel moves out of the squad altogether with Michael Rhodes taking his place.
