The Xerox Golden Lions team to travel to Cape Town this weekend to face DHL Western Province welcomes back their Springbok Marvin Orie.

The Lions boast a new lock pairing of Orie and Ruben Schoeman. Orie was in action against the Wallabies at Emirates Airline Park over the past weekend.

Hacjivah Dayimani will run out in his first Currie Cup match this season after recovering from a niggle that he kept him out of the first match against the Pumas.

In the only change to the backline Jan-Louis la Grange gets the nod in midfield.

Prop Dylan Smith picked up an injury at training this week and will sit this one out.

Kick-off is at 17:15.
