The Emirates Lions made one enforced change to their starting line-up for their Vodacom United Rugby Championship match against Welsh side Ospreys on Saturday, bringing in Conraad van Vuuren for the suspended Asenathi Ntlabakanye.

Ntlabakanye was suspended for three games on Thursday after his disciplinary for the red card he received in the win over Connacht and therefore had to be replaced.

The rest of the team is unchanged, as the Lions look to press home their advantage. If they can get another win, they can move further up the ladder and start entrenching themselves in the top eight.

Emirates Lions: Quan Horn, Richard Kriel, Erich Cronje, Marius Louw (capt), Edwill van der Merwe; Jordan Hendrikse, Sanele Nohamba; Francke Horn, Emmanuel Tshituka, JC Pretorius, Reinhard Nothnagel, Etienne Oosthuizen, Conraad van Vuuren, PJ Botha, JP Smith.

Replacements: Jaco Visagie, Morgan Naude, Ruan Dreyer, Darrien Landsberg, Izan Esterhuizen, Hanru Sirgel, Morne van den Berg, Stean Pienaar.
