The Toyota Cheetahs have named their starting XV for their Super Rugby warm-up match against the Bulls in Harare on Saturday.
Lock Reniel Hugo, will captain the side during the match, while scrumhalf Tian Meyer will deputise.
Coach Franco Smith has opted to named most of the season players on the bench and this includes the teams captain for the season, Francois Venter.
