Johannesburg - The Lions have named an unchanged side for Saturday's Super Rugby clash against the Hurricanes at Ellis Park on Saturday.
Coach Johan Ackermann opted for the exact same squad of 23 that beat the Sharks in last weekend's nail-biting quarter-final.
The only selection that had been a talking point this week was the possible inclusion of Springbok centre Rohan Janse van Rensburg, but he stays on the bench as Harold Vorster continues to be rewarded for his good form.
Kick-off on Saturday is at 14:30.
