Johannesburg - Springbok flyhalf Marnitz Boshoff will lead the Golden Lions XV against Griquas in a Currie Cup Qualifier clash at Marks Park on Saturday (15:00 kick-off).
With Super Rugby in recess due to the international window, the Lions have opted to give a few of their players a run in the Currie Cup.
Ruan Ackermann and Cyle Brink, who have been cutting their teeth in Super Rugby, will partner Robert Kruger in the loose trio.
Lock Lourens “Makou” Erasmus gets a chance and will partner with Martin Muller while both Jacques van Rooyen and Corne Fourie will start against Griquas.
