Lions Super rugby coach Swys de Bruin has named a team with two changes for this weekend’s Super rugby final against the Crusaders in Christchurch.

The Lions beat the Waratahs in their semifinal which was played in Johannesburg and the team have now flown to Christchurch where they will face the reigning champion Crusaders.

De Bruin has included Cyle Brink and he returns at flanker.

On the wing Courtnall Skosan comes in to replace Aphiwe Dyantyi who was forced off against the Waratahs with a hamstring injury.

Although Dyanti has lost his place in the starting line up he has been named on the bench.
