Dobson shuffles the deck for Lions
There are three positional switches in the backline and just one change to the forward pack for the knock-out clash.
Dillyn Leyds moves from wing to fullback, with Ruhan Nel taking his place out wide and EW Viljoen back in midfield alongside Huw Jones.
This means that Damian Willemse and Werner Kok feature on the replacements bench, along with scrumhalf Jano Vermaak – who returns from injury.
Flank Kobus van Dyk is the only change to the forward pack which started in the win against the Sharks in Durban last week.
Props Allister Vermaak and Frans van Wyk join the replacements.
The Province coach, Dobson, said that his team was determined to make the most of home advantage at Newlands.
"It is going to be a special occasion for everyone involved with a Currie Cup home semifinal at Newlands so we are looking forward to it," Dobson said.
"The players have worked incredibly hard to get to this point and now the challenge is to make the most of this opportunity," he added.
