Cape Town - Lions coach Swys de Bruin has named his team for Saturday’s Super Rugby clash against the Stormers at Newlands.
De Bruin has made three changes to the starting XV which beat the Jaguares 25-16 in Buenos Aires last weekend.
In the backline, one Springbok replaces another as Ruan Combrinck comes in for Aphiwe Dyantyi at left wing, with the latter moving to the bench.
Up front, Kwagga Smith replaces Hacjivah Dayimani in the No 7 jersey, while Stephan Lewies is fit again and comes in for Rhyno Herbst at lock.
Sti Sithole, Gianni Lombard and Sylvian Mahuza are newcomers on the bench.
Saturday's clash is scheduled for 17:15.
