Lions make front row changes

Johannesburg - Interim Lions coach Johan Ackermann has stuck with continuity, making only two changes to the run-on side for their Super Rugby clash against the Stormers in Cape Town on Saturday.

Kick-off is at 17:05.

Prop JC Janse van Rensburg replaces CJ van der Linde, who could play off the bench provided he passes a late fitness test.

The only other change to the starting XV sees Jacobie Adriaanse replacing injured Pat Cilliers at tighthead prop.
