Springboks Warren Whiteley and Aphiwe Dyantyi look set to start for the Golden Lions in the Currie Cup semi-final against the Sharks.

Whiteley and Dyantyi trained with the Lions on Monday and are expected to start against the Sharks at Kings Park this weekend. Whiteley, who missed the last two Tests of the Rugby Championship, has reportedly recovered from his groin injury.

According to Netwerk24, Bok hooker Malcolm Marx is unlikely to feature after sustaining an injury against the All Blacks two weeks ago.

There is still uncertainty over the availability of Franco Mostert, as English club Gloucester want the lock to report for duty sooner rather than later.
