Lions head coach Johan Ackermann named an unchanged team to face the Crusaders in Christchurch on Saturday.

Sticking with the same starting XV which beat the Blues 13-10 in Auckland last weekend, Ackermann made just two changes to the bench.

Lions recruit Andries Ferreira will provide lock cover and Marnitz Boshoff returns to the match day 23, while Robert Kruger and Jaco van der Walt drop out of the side.

Kick-off is at 5.30am South Africa time. The match will be televised live on SuperSport 1.

Lions: Andries Coetzee, Ruan Combrinck, Lionel Mapoe, Harold Vorster, Sampie Mastriet, Elton Jantjies, Ross Cronje, Warren Whiteley (captain), Warwick Tecklenburg, Jaco Kriel, Martin Muller, Franco Mostert, Julian Redelinghuys, Robbie Coetzee, Corne Fourie.

Replacements: Armand van der Merwe, Jacques van Rooyen, Ruan Dreyer, Andries Ferreira, Derick Minnie, Faf de Klerk, Marnitz Boshoff, Howard Mnisi.
