Lions stick to their guns for WP

MTN Golden Lions coach John Mitchell today named his team to do battle with the DHL Western Province in Cape Town on Friday night and has named almost exactly the same team that dominated against the FS Cheetahs this past weekend.
Mitchell made only one rotational change with Patric Cilliers and Jacobie Adriaanse switching places. Cillers will start with Adriaanse coming off the bench. This probably comes after Adriaanse limped off in the second half.
The centre pairing of Mapoe and Hollenbach has been retained along with the potent young fullback Jaco Taute. These key areas will be the platforms where the Lions will launch most of their attacks from at Newlands.
