Whiteley back to lead Lions
The Lions were forced to make a few changes after Martin Muller, who was named at lock in the starting XV, failed a fitness test on Friday.
Whiteley comes in at No.8 and takes over the captaincy from scrumhalf Ricky Schroeder while Muller's place will be taken up by Bobby de Wee, who moves from the bench.
Ruan Lerm moves to flank, as a result of Whiteley's inclusion, and Fabian Booysen is moved to the bench.
