Lions coach John Mitchell has made one change to his side as they look to register their first win of the season against the Blues.

Lock George Earl drops out due to injury and is replaced in the starting line-up by former Lions captain Wikus van Heerden.

The former Lions and Springbok flank has been told by coach John Mitchell that he will mostly be used as a lock this season, and has impressed with his work rate and aggression in the two appearances as a replacement in the first two Super matches.

Van Heerden's place on the bench is taken by former Bulls loose forward Dries van Schalkwyk.

In contrast, Blues coach Pat Lam has opted to make six changes and has recalled Luke McAlister to the starting line-up.

McAllister replaced Stephen Brett, who drops to the bench, while Kevin Mealamu, Anthony Boric and Daniel Braid have all been demoted to be bench warners.

The three have been replaced by Tom McCartney, Kurtis Haiu and Luke Braid to get their first starts of the season.

Peter Saili will also make his first appearance after replacing Chris Lowrey at number 8, while Jerome Kaino will captain the side in Mealamu's absence.

The Lions are yet to win a match this season, while the Blues won their opener against the Crusaders before crashing to defeat against the Sharks.

The Blues are obvious favourites to win the match at 1.62A$, while the Lions can be backed at 2.30.

There are a number of markets available in Super Rugby and one is the half-time/full-time double and you can back the Lions to be ahead at the break and at the final whistle at 3.25, while a Lions-Bulls double is on offer at 7.00.
