The Golden Lions Rugby Union announced the MTN Lions team to play in their ninth match of the 2012 Vodacom Super Rugby competition against the Chiefs on Saturday, 5 May 2012 this morning.

There are five changes to the starting line up from the team who played the Brumbies last weekend:
– Franco van der Merwe replaces Hendrik Roodt
– With van der Merwe moving to Left Lock, Ruan Botha comes in at Right Lock
– Derick Minnie replaces Cobus Grobbelaar, who has been moved to the bench
– Grant Hattingh will get his first start for the MTN Lions at Right Flanker
– Ross Cronje starts at Scrumhalf ahead of Tian Meyer who has been moved to the bench

A sixth change may occur following a late fitness test of Caylib Oosthuizen. Should Oosthuizen not be able to play in the weekends game, JC Janse van Rensburg will return to the team at Loosehead Prop.
