Pietersen and Pretorius in doubt | News Article

The Toyota Cheetahs halfback pairing of Sarel Pretorius and Joe Pietersen are in doubt for this weekends’ clash against the Highlanders in Bloemfontein.

The pair are both suffering with a shoulders injuries could be ruled out for the match against the in-form side from Dunedin.
 
This could leave the door open for the Griquas halfback pairing of Tian Meyer and Francois Brummer to run out against 5th placed team.
 
Johann Sadie is likely to miss this weeks’ match as well and could Michael van der Spuy retaining his starting role following and outstanding match against the Stormers.
 
There is still however some uncertainty over the fitness of Springbok prop Coenie Oosthuizen who has a back injury. 
 
Should Oosthuizen not be available it could benefit the Highlanders who  in their turn are targeting an improved scrum after taking somewhat of a pounding against the Lions in the department during their 28-23 loss in Johannesburg last week.
 
Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph conceded that they were taught a scrumming lesson last week.
 
The Cheetahs will name their team for the match this afternoon.
