Bloemfontein - The Toyota Cheetahs today named their side to lock horns with the Stormers Bloemfontein on Saturday afternoon in the Super Rugby.
The technical team decided not to risk Springbok flyhalf Johan Goosen who is recovering from a concussion he sustained against the Crusaders at the Free State Stadium two weeks ago.
Elgar Watts who has proven himself to be a real general in marshalling the backline retains the number 10 jersey.
Raymond Rhule returns to the starting XV, with Cornal Hendricks dropping down to the bench against the Capetonians.
The only other change to the side which lost 19-8 to Sharks in Durban, is in the second-row with Andries Ferreira replacing the highly impressive Lood de Jager.
De Jager will be side-lined for the next four to six weeks with a broken finger and has he sights set on a return when the Cheetahs tackle the Stormers in the return fixture at Newlands.
