The Lions have made four changes to their side for tonight's Super Rugby clash against the Waratahs in Sydney.

It is a massive fixture as the Lions desperately need to kick-start their campaign having won only one of their opening three fixtures.

Flyhalf Elton Jantjies continues as captain while former Springbok Willem Alberts is named on the bench once more.

Wing Courtnall Skosan sits out this week for Jamba Ulengo in a purely rotational move while tighthead prop Jannie du Plessis is replaced by Carlu Sadie.

The Highlanders host the Rebels at 6.05 tonight while the Waratahs and Lions clash at 8.15pm tonight.

The Hurricanes meet the Sunwolves at 3.45pm tomorrow while the Reds meet the Sharks at 8.15pm tomorrow.

The Blues meet the Stormers at 1.05am Sunday while the Bulls and the Jaguares face off at 3.15am Sunday.
