The Golden Lions have made three changes to their starting line-up for their Currie Cup clash against WP in Cape Town this Saturday.

Butch James will start at flyhalf in place of Elton Jantjies, who’s on Springbok duty. Inside centre Dylan des Fountain also gets a place in the run-on side with Jaco Taute in the Test mix.

The one change among the forwards sees flank Jaco Kriel preferred ahead of Willie Britz.

Subs: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 Ruan Dreyer, 18 Ettienne Oosthuizen, 19 Willie Britz, 20 Ross Cronje, 21 Deon van Rensburg, 22 James Kamana.

    Hmm, we’ll miss Taute and Jantjes for sure, but I’m very happy that Kriel has replaced Britz. This pack is going to cause headaches for the Lesser Cape Hoop-Hoops.
