The prop Andrew Kuhn replaces Luan de Bruin on the bench for the derby in Kimberley. At first the team looks unchanged, however, De Bruin was a late replacement for Kuhn last week Friday when the defending champions edged the Pumas 33-32 in Bloemfontein.

The Springbok Sevens star, Chris Dry, retains the captaincy, while the 18-point hero from last week, Robbie Petzer, will once against marshal the backline at flyhalf.

The last time these two sides met was in round four when the Peacock Blues stunned the Cheetahs 30-25 in Bloemfontein.

Saturday’s match at Tafel Lager Park in Kimberley kicks off at 14:00.
