Johannesburg - The Leopards have included Cecil Dumont, the younger brother of Sharks flyhalf Monty, in the team for Friday night's Currie Cup fixture against the Blue Bulls at Loftus Versfeld.
A decision whether Dumont will start at flyhalf will be taken later in the week. The Pukke student has been bracketed with regular flyhalf Clayton Durand.
The Lions Super 14 centre Deon van Rensburg makes a welcome return to the team after withdrawing from the team to face the Cheetahs. His centre partner is Basil de Doncker, who represented the Bulls at junior level.
De Doncker replaces former Cheetahs centre Berndt Theissinger, who broke his nose against his former team-mates.

With regular captain Wilhelm Koch still out injured Andre Swanepoel retains the captaincy and the number six jersey.
Reserve hooker Pellow van der Westhuizen regains his place in the 22, as do Christo van Niekerk and scrumhalf Michael Bondesio.
