Both Ruan Pienaar and Frans Steyn have been rested for the game, Reinhardt Fortuin returns from injury to start at flyhalf.

The newly signed Siya Masuku starts at outside centre, while Zinedine Booysen and Cohen Jasper are on the bench.

Booysen told OFM Sport that he is excited to play for the Cheetahs for the first time.

“I am very excited about this weekend’s game.

“The chat in the camp has been about focusing on ourselves as a team and our job.

“I am definitely looking forward to getting a chance to play at senior level and putting on the senior Cheetahs jersey.

“It's really exciting times and I honestly really didn't think I would get to play again so soon after the Varsity Cup, and especially with the Currie Cup just a few weeks away.”

Tomorrow afternoon's game at the Toyota Stadium kicks off at 12:00.
