Cheetahs coach Hawies Fourie said the result is important for his team – who will have regular captain Ruan Pienaar back in the starting XV.

“He [Pienaar] controls the game well,” he said of the veteran Springbok utility back.

“Having Ruan back is good for the team. His leadership is outstanding and his game management will be important for us.”
