Cheetahs forced to change again
The Cheetahs have been forced into another change, ahead of their Super Rugby Round Five encounter with the Sharks in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
Tienie Burger, who was to have started in the place of Springbok Teboho Mohoje, has failed a concussion test and will miss the game.
Mohoje, who was to have been rested in line with the South African Rugby Union request to keep the Boks fresh for the World Cup, comes back into the starting XV.
The rest of the Cheetahs 23-man squad remains the same from the one which was named on Tuesday.
In the forwards, Johannes Prinsloo was moved from flank to No.8 and Jean Cook back to flank.
Another Bok, Heinrich Brüssow, was named on the Cheetahs bench – after missing the start of the season because of concussion.
The flank is being eased back into the game having not played any Super Rugby this season.
Cheetahs – revised: 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Cornal Hendricks, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Francois Venter, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Joe Pietersen, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Johannes Prinsloo, 7 Jean Cook, 6 Teboho Mohoje, 5 Francois Uys (captain), 4 Carl Wegner, 3 Coenie Oosthuizen, 2 Torsten van Jaarsveld, 1 Danie Mienie.
