Cheetahs up for Bulls challenge

The Toyota Cheetahs are travelling to Pretoria to take on the Vodacom Bulls on Friday at 5pm at Loftus Versfeld. The game will be live on SuperSport.

“It’s a very important game for us. We want to stay on top of the log but it will be a massive challenge. The Bulls have a massive squad and they are a good team,” said coach Izak van der Westhuizen.

Jeandre Rudolph moves to the No 6 flank, with Oupa Mohoje wearing the No 8 jersey. Marco Jansen van Vuren is the scrumhalf with Jandrè Nel on reserve. Prince Nkabinde will make his debut for the Toyota Cheetahs on left wing alongside Cohen Jasper on right wing.
