JOHANNESBURG — Golden Lions coach Johan Ackermann has named his team to play the Free State Cheetahs in their Currie Cup opener at Coca-Cola Park on Saturday.

Springboks Butch James and CJ van der Linde are welcome inclusions for the defending Currie Cup champions.

James missed their 26-27 friendly loss to the Bulls last Friday. He replaces Elton Jantjies at flyhalf after the latter was called up to the Springbok squad.

Prop Van der Linde returns after a long injury layoff.

Prop JC Janse van Rensburg will lead the side after Josh Strauss recently quit the captaincy.

Strauss is still picked at No. 7 flank, however.

Kick-off is at 5.05 pm on Saturday.
