Lions team named for Blues clash
VODACOM SUPER RUGBY ROUND 5: LIONS VS BLUES
Lions head coach Johan Ackermann has named his 23-man team to front the Auckland-based Blues at Ellis Park on Saturday.
Ackermann has made several changes after the Lions went down to The Sharks in Durban last weekend.
In the forwards, Robbie Coetzee returns to the starting line-up and Willie Britz will start at flank. As a result, both Willie Wepener and Warwick Tecklenburg will provide cover off the wood.
Meanwhile, in the backline, Marnitz Boshoff shifts back to flyhalf. Courtnall Skosan, JW Jonker and Coenie van Wyk all earn spaces in the starting XV as Elton Jantjies and Ruan Combrinck are moved to the bench to provide backline cover.
The match will kick off at 15h00 and will be preceded by a Vodacom Cup clash between the Golden Lions and Valke.
