Cheetahs get two Boks back
Cheetahs coach Naka Drotské, for his last home game before he walks off into the sunset, has recalled two key Springboks.
Drotské made four changes to the team for the Round 15 Super Rugby encounter with the Lions in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
The backline changes see the return of Springbok wings Cornal Hendricks and Raymond Rhule.
Hendricks returns in place of Sergeal Petersen, while Rhule moves up from the bench in place of Rayno Benjamin.
Benjamin will be running onto the field for his 50th Super Rugby game on Saturday, if he is required.
Captain Francois Uys, who was a late withdrawal before last week's clash after suffering from flu, is back in the starting team.
Veteran Steven Sykes drops down to the replacement bench.
The final change sees Carel Greeff replacing Tienie Burger (concussion) on the flank, with Henco Venter moving onto the bench.
