Emirates Lions coach Ivan van Rooyen has made only one change to match 25 that travels to Cape Town for the Vodacom Super Rugby Unlocked clash with the DHL Stormers on Saturday.
After a sterling performance by Morné van den Berg, he gets a starting berth. Ross Cronjé comes in to replace the injured Dillon Smit who went under the knife on Tuesday for a dislocated shoulder and could be sidelined for up to four months.
Consistency was key for the coaching staff after a strong second half performance last weekend.
Kick-off is at 5pm on October 17.
The Emirates Lions team is: EW Viljoen, Jamba Ulengo, Burger Odendaal, Dan Kriel, Rabz Maxwane, Elton Jantjies (captain), Morné van den Berg, Len Massyn, Vincent Tshituka, Jaco Kriel, Marvin Orie, Willem Alberts, Carlu Sadie, Jaco Visagie, Sti Sithole. Reserves: Jan-Henning Campher, Dylan Smith, Wiehahn Herbst, Wilhelm van der Sluys, MJ Pelser, Hacjivah Dayimani, Ross Cronjé, Gianni Lombard, Wandisile Simelane, Ruan Dreyer.
