Lions coach Eugene Eloff has made just one change to his side for Saturday's Super 14 match against the Hurricanes at Coca Cola Park in Johannesburg.
The solitary change sees Doppies la Grange come in to partner Jaque Fourie in the midfield in place of Barry Goodes.
Otherwise the rest of the matchday 22 remains the same as last week as the Lions seek consecutive victories before they head overseas on their four-match tour.
Eloff will be looking for a repeat performance from his team, one he feels was made up of "heart and guts." But the boss admits his team will have to be better in certain areas come Saturday.
"If we win we will be leaving for the tour with good momentum and a good position on the log," he said.
Lions: 15 Louis Ludik, 14 Ashwin Willemse, 13 Jaque Fourie, 12 Doppies la Grange, 11 Henno Mentz, 10 Andre Pretorius, 9 Jano Vermaak, 8 Ernst Joubert, 7 Todd Clever, 6 Cobus Grobbelaar (c), 5 Jannes Labuschagne, 4 Anton van Zyl, 3 Lawrence Sephaka, 2 Willie Wepener, 1 Heinke van der Merwe.
Replacements: 16 Hans van Dyk, 17 Gert Muller, 18 Gerhard Mostert, 19 Willem Alberts, 20 Chris Jonck, 21 Earl Rose, 22 Shandre Frolick.
