Rasta Rasivhenge will referee Saturday’s key Super Rugby Unlocked clash between the Lions and Bulls at Emirates Airline Park.
Kick-off is at 19:00.
The Bulls are currently top of the standings after four rounds of action, with their hosts this weekend down in fifth place.
Both teams are coming off impressive victories.
The Bulls saw off a Springbok-laden Stormers side 39-6 at Loftus Versfeld last weekend, while the Lions were far too strong for Griquas, winning 61-31 in Johannesburg.
SHARKS V CHEETAHS, GRIQUAS V STORMERS IN OTHER MATCHES
The Bulls have won their last two Super Rugby matches against the Lions after having won only one of their previous seven against their cross-Jukskei rivals.
Rasivhenge will have Cwengile Jadezweni and Egon Seconds as his Assistant Referees, while Marius van der Westhuizen will be on TMO duty.
Meanwhile, in the other matches in Round 5 of the tournament, the Sharks will host the Cheetahs in Durban (Friday, November 6 at 19:00), while in Saturday’s early match, Griquas play the Stormers in Kimberley (16:30).
The Pumas will enjoy a bye weekend.
