Quan Horn will start at fullback as the Lions have made a handful of changes to the side that will face Dragons in a Vodacom United Rugby Championship clash in Johannesburg on Sunday.
The major change to the side that lost to the DHL Stormers before the mid-season break sees Andries Coetzee fall out of the match-day 23. His place at fullback is taken by Horn and as a result, winger Rabz Maxwane is promoted to the starting lineup.

There are two further changes to the pack as Ruhan Straeuli replaces Ruan Venter at blindside flank, while Ruben Schoeman comes into the second row in place of Willem Alberts.
Props JP Smith and Asenathi Ntlabakanye and scrumhalf Andre Warner are new inclusions on the bench.
