Upfront, Andisa Ntsila starts at flank with Jeandré Rudolph being rotated to the bench, while Schalk Ferreira will start at loosehead prop.

Cheetahs coach, Hawies Fourie, told OFM Sport that Specman brings a lot energy to the team has his is hoping the Blitzboks speedster will get to play his natural game.

“Speckies always brings energy to the team. He trained well the whole and he is excited to play.

“If you get a quality player like Speckies back it is positive for the team and we look forward to seeing him play.

“He hasn't had a lot of opportunities during the games that he has played and hopefully our attack will fire during the weekend and he will get some ball and chances to take the defence on.”
