Head coach Ivan van Rooyen has named an unchanged Lions 23 to face Dragons in the Vodacom URC at Ellis Park on Saturday.
Van Rooyen has opted for consistency, placing his trust in the same lineup that thrashed Zebre Parma 61-19 in Johannesburg last week.
Sanele Nohamba continues as the starting flyhalf, making it the fourth week in a row that he partners with Morne van den Berg as the halfback pairing, keeping Jordan Hendrikse on the bench.
