Cheetahs shuffle again for Bulls clash

Cheetahs coach Franco Smith has named his team to play the Bulls in their final round Super Rugby match at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.

Smith has made several changes to the side that lost to the Waratahs last week and Willie le Roux returns to the starting line .up at fullback for his final match with the side.

Le Roux’s promotion to the starting line up pushed Coenie van Wyk down to the replacements bench.

On the wing Sergeal Petersen moves from right to left wing, replacing Cornal Hendricks and Clayton Blommetjies moves in on right wing.

Henco Venter moves up from the bench to replace Tienie Burger. Oupa Mohoje and Renier Botha come on to the replacements bench while Shaun Venter drops out of the 23.

The Cheetahs and the Bulls have already played once this season and the Bulls won 20-39 in Bloemfontein.
