The Vodacom URC Jukskei derby in Pretoria on Saturday will feature a post-match bout between former Springbok and Bulls backs.
The Bulls and Lions renew hostilities at Loftus Versfeld after Jake White's charges beat the Pride in Johannesburg on 25 January in round 10 of the URC.
The Herd are currently third on the standings with 35 points, while the Lions, in 12th, are chasing a playoff spot with two games in hand.

Once the score is settled on the field, the action moves to the ring, with a boxing card featuring seven exhibition bouts, including a clash between former world champion Sebastian Rothman and Shadow Shabane.
The main event will see 14-Test centre Lionel Mapoe trade punches with one-capped playmaker Marnitz Boshoff in a three-round contest. Their careers saw them also don both the Lions and Bulls jerseys.
