Steyn underwent self-isolation as he and his family had entered the country from France, where he just completed a five-year stint at the French Top14 club, Montpellier.

Steyn says he just wants to settle now in Bloemfontein and hopes that they can start playing rugby again soon.

“I am just looking to get settle and hopefully make a positive impact here at the Cheetahs, and then just take it day-by-day.

“It is a big privilege for me to be back in Bloemfontein and I am blessed to be here.

“We are really looking forward to settling here in Bloem and the kids need to get back to school.

“We’re just hoping that the Coronavirus situation can finish so that everyone can carry on with their lives.”

Steyn is at the Cheetahs on a two-year contract.

Meanwhile, in Super Rugby AU, the Melbourne Rebels host the Reds at the Brookvale Oval at 11:05 on Friday, and on Saturday at 11:15 the Waratahs tackle the Western Force at the SCG.
