Melbourne - Lions coach Johan Ackermann has named his team to take on the Melbourne Rebels in a Super Rugby clash on Friday (kick-off 10:40 SA time).
Ackermann opted to rotate several players for the match.
Up front, Schalk van der Merwe, Armand van der Merwe and Ruan
Dreyer will make up the front row. Robert Kruger will start at lock,
while Derick Minnie has also been promoted to the starting line-up at
flank.
Meanwhile, in the backline, Faf de Klerk will start at
scrumhalf with Marnitz Boshoff linking up with him at flyhalf. Courtnall
Skosan fills the left wing berth, shifting Sampie Mastriet to right
wing.
In an interesting move, Elton Jantjies moves from flyhalf to inside centre, with Jaco van der Walt at fullback for the match at AAMI Park.
