Lions head coach Johan Ackermann named Marnitz Boshoff in the starting team to play the Highlanders in Dunedin on Saturday.
Boshoff was named on the replacements bench last week with Elton Jantjies starting at flyhalf. This week Jantjies drops to the bench.
Also in the Lions back-line Anthony Volmink comes into the starting XV at left wing.
In the forwards there has been just one change which sees MB Lusaseni start at lock.
On the bench, Corne Fourie has been called up to provide prop cover, while Rudi Mathee and Warwick Teckenburg are also new inclusions.
