Bok lock back as Lions name team to face WP

Johannesburg - The Golden Lions team to travel to Cape Town this weekend to face Western Province welcome back their Springbok lock Marvin Orie.

The Lions boast a new lock pairing of Orie and Ruben Schoeman for the clash at Newlands. Orie was in action for the Springboks against the Wallabies at Ellis Park last weekend.

No 8 Hacjivah Dayimani will run out in his first Currie Cup match this season after recovering from a niggle that he kept him out of the first match against the Pumas.

In the only change to the backline, Jan-Louis la Grange gets the nod in midfield.

Prop Dylan Smith picked up an injury at training this week and will sit out.

Kick-off is at 17:15 on Saturday.
