The Toyota Cheetahs have made just two changes to their starting XV which will face Scarlets on Sunday in the Guinness Pro14.


In the backline, Benhard Janse van Rensburg, returns from his concussion protocol and will partner Dries Swanepoel at centre.

In the second-row, Walt Steenkamp, starts at the expense of Jasper Wiese, and he will play alongside, JP du Preez.

Meanwhile, the Scarlets loose-forward, Uzair Cassiem, says he expects his former teammates to try and speed things up.

“They will be coming with an attacking mind-set. They love the running game, speeding things up and all kinds of funny things.

“They will be coming with funny lineouts, quick throw-ins, and anything to speed the game up.

“We’ve worked hard on our defence this week, so hopefully we will be up there.”
