The Lions have announced a tweak to their starting lineup for the Challenge Cup playoff against Benetton on Saturday.
Head coach Ivan van Rooyen named a new-look midfield on Friday for the round of 16 clash in Treviso, with Zander du Plessis and Richard Kriel set to start together for the first time.

However, veteran campaigner Erich Cronje has replaced Kriel at outside centre. Manny Rass comes onto the bench.
Kriel has started all 15 of his appearances for The Pride this season, and scored three tries.
