Bloemfontein – The Toyota Cheetahs have made a late change to their side to face the Stormers in Cape Town for the return match in the Super Rugby.
Versatile back, Riaan Smit, has withdrawn from the side through injury.
The player who is equally comfortable at flyhalf, fullback and wing gets replaced by the impressive Gouws Prinsloo from the Griquas.
Prinsloo has made a name for himself in the Varsity Cup with the Shimlas and the Griquas during the Vodacom Cup. He has also previously represented the Sharks in the Vodacom Cup.
He is third player from the Diamond City drafted onto the bench this weekend.
The last time these two sides faced each other, the Cheetahs beat men from Cape Town 35-22 in Bloemfontein at the Free State Stadium.
Satruday’s match at Newlands in the Mother City kicks off at 17:05.
