Brisbane Lions vice-captain Daniel Rich has been declared fit for the round 4 clash with the Gold Coast SUNS.

Rich injured his hamstring in the final quarter of the Lions’ round two loss to North Melbourne and subsequently missed the Geelong game the following week.

The 25-year old adds 124 games of experience to the Lions’ team and will be looking to help curb the influence of the SUNS' dangerous midfield, which has been a critical element of the team's three wins so far this season.

Billy Evans has been omitted to make way for Rich, the only change in the Lions line up for Saturday’s QClash.
