Drotske names his final Cheetahs team for Stormers

Outgoing Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske has named his team to play the Stormers this weekend at Newlands in Cape Town in what will be his final game in charge of the Cheetahs.

Drotske will leave the Bloemfontein franchise after the match against the Stormers so he has named his final team.

Flyhalf Joe Pietersen and flanker Tienie Burger have been declared fit so they both returns to the starting line up Francois Brummer and Carel Greeff.

In other changes to the Cheetahs backline Sergeal Petersen takes over from Cornal Hendricks on right wing while Sarel Pretorius replaces Shaun Venter on the bench.

Tian Meyer retains his place in the starting line up for the last match under Drotske before Franco Smith takes over.
