Coach De Bruin forced to revamp his backrow as skipper goes off injured

A bone bruise on Whiteley's knee is keeping the regular captain out of Saturday’s match against the Highlanders‚ with Malcolm Marx set to fill the voidWarren Whiteley’s injury enforced absence has again necessitated the Lions to go into Super Rugby battle with a reconfigured backrow.

Whiteley’s absence again comes as a huge blow to the side hoping to build momentum in the closing stages of the league campaign in Super Rugby. There‚ however‚ is still enough scope in the remaining matches in Super Rugby for him to re-establish his credentials. Smith has deputised for Whiteley at the back of the scrum with measured success this season‚ while Schoeman has punched above his weight in this campaign.In the other change in the pack‚ loose head prop Dylan Smith returns to the starting line-up at the expense of Sti Sithole.Although the Highlanders boast a combative pack‚ they also have inventive backs.
