Iain Henderson will captain the Lions on Wednesday evening in their second game of this summer's tour of South Africa against the Sharks.
The Ulster second row is one of two Irish starters for the game, the other being Bundee Aki at inside centre.
The bench features a further four Irish players: Tadhg Furlong, Tadhg Beirne, Jack Conan and tour captain Conor Murray.
England's Tom Curry, along with Welsh pair Josh Navidi and Adam Beard, are all set to make their Lions debuts in the game.
"It’s a quick turnaround from Saturday, but we’ll be ready to go by Wednesday night,” said Lions head coach Warren Gatland.
"I’m pleased we managed to come through the weekend’s game unscathed, and the boys have rested and recovered well. We feel like we’re slowly building, but, as ever, there’s still room for improvement in all facets of our game.
"Wednesday night is another chance for us to have a look at a few more combinations. I’m looking forward to seeing how the back row goes; it’s an exciting mixture and one that we hope will offer something a bit different.
"We expect another physical test against a side who are known for their power play and ambition."
Wednesday's game kicks off at 6pm Irish time.
