There are three changes to the starting XV that went down 29-17 to the Waratahs in Parramatta last Friday.
Up front, Pieter Jansen starts at hooker, with Jan-Hemming Campher dropping to the bench and Springbok Willem Alberts starts his first game of the season at flank in place of the injured Vincent Tshituka.
In the backline, Wandisile Simelane starts at outside centre in place of Manuel Rass.
Shaun Reynolds and Courtnall Skosan are new additions to the bench.
The Lions will be eager to get on the winning track having won only one of four matches this season.
