Injury forces Cheetahs change
The Cheetahs have been forced into a late change, ahead of their Super Rugby Round 14 encounter with the Brumbies in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
Riaan Smith replaces the injured Raymond Rhule in the matchday 23.
Rhule, who was originally set to start on the right wing, was later named on the bench – pending a fitness test.
However, the Springbok flyer failed to recover from the ankle injury he suffered in the loss to the Western Force last week.
Cornal Hendricks will start on the right wing and Smith provides utility cover off the bench.
Cheetahs – revised: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Cornal Hendricks, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Rayno Benjamin, 11 Willie le Roux, 10 Johan Goosen, 9 Shaun Venter, 8 Johannes Prinsloo, 7 Teboho Mohoje, 6 Heinrich Brüssow, 5 Francois Uys, 4 Willem Serfontein, 3 Coenie Oosthuizen, 2 Adriaan Strauss (captain), 1 Caylib Oosthuizen.
Replacements: 16 Torsten van Jaarsveld, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Nicolaas van Dyk, 19 Carel Greeff, 20 Waltie Vermeulen, 21 Renier Botha, 22 Elgar Watts, 23 Riaan Smith.
