Ospreys make seven personnel changes as they round off their United Rugby Championship (URC) season at Lions on Saturday.

Hooker Dewi Lake will lead the side with British and Irish Lions-bound Jac Morgan left out of a contest between two sides already eliminated from the play-off race.

Flanker Harri Deaves replaces Morgan in the back-row alongside incoming blind-side Will Griffiths. James Ratti switches to lock where James Fender also replaces Montpellier-bound Adam Beard.

Prop Steffan Thomas replaces Gareth Thomas at loose-head.

Behind the scrum Reuben Morgan-Williams takes over the nine jersey from Kieran Hardy, while Luke Morgan and Ryan Conbeer come onto the wings in place of Daniel Kasende and Keelan Giles.

Twenty-year-old prop Kian Hire could make his debut off the bench.

Lions make three changes to the starting XV beaten by Scarlets last weekend.

Centre Henco van Wyk returns after injury, while Lubabalo Dobela comes in at fly-half and Juan Schoeman at prop.

Both sides have suffered a disappointing drop in form during the latter part of the season.

Lions have won just one of their past six league games and are 13th in the table, while Ospreys are 11th having won only one of their previous four.

The Welsh side's only victory in their past seven URC visits to South Africa was against Stormers in April 2024, but they have won their previous three meetings with the Lions in all competitions - including a 30-14 victory in a Challenge Cup match switched to Parc y Scarlets earlier this season.
