The Toyota Cheetahs are traveling to Cape Town to take on DHL Western Province on Saturday at 15:00. The action at DHL Stadium in Cape Town starts at 15:00 and will be live on SuperSport.
Coach Hawies announced the team with a couple of changes from last week’s match against the Lions:
Schalk Ferreira and Alulutho Tshakweni switch places, with Schalk in the starting line-up. Starting next to him is Aranos Coetzee, who has returned from injury. Rynier Bernardo will provide cover on the bench for Mzwanele Zito. Gideon van der Merwe and Sibabalo Qoma are the flanks, and Andisa Ntsila will wear the number 8 jersey.
“From our point of view, Jeandré had a good game against the Lions with 18 carries and 17 tackles. He was our man of the match. Andy (Andisa Ntsila) played well against Pumas after a long layoff. He made a lot of ball carries. He deserves an opportunity. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to give Jeandré a break and to give a quality player like Andisa the opportunity.”
“The season is still long, and wherever we can do it and if the players are sharp, we’ll keep rotating without disrupting the team.” Said Coach Hawies Fourie.
The centres are David Brits and Evardi Boshoff. Cohen Jasper and Tapiwa Mafura switch places, with Mafura on the reserve bench.
