The Lions have made four changes to their starting XV for Saturday’s match against the Stormers at Newlands.

With Harold Vorster and Rohan Janse van Rensburg in midfield, Aphiwe Dyantyi, who was at No 13 against the Brumbies, regains the No 11 jersey, with Madosh Tambwe dropping out.

In the other change to the backline, Ruan Combrink replaces Sylvian Mahuza on the right wing.

There are two alterations to the pack, as Marnus Schoeman replaces Hacjivah Dayimani and Kwagga Smith switches from flank to No 8 as a result.

In a rotational change, Jacques van Rooyen replaces Dylan Smith at loosehead prop.
