Injuries force Naka to re-shuffle some Cheetah spots

Published 10 August 2011 | By grootblousmile

Two injuries has forced Toyota Cheetahs coach, Naka Drotske, to re-shuffle his team for this weekend’s match against the Lions.

Injuries to Andries Strauss and Hennie Daniller has forced Drotske to change the team that beat Western Province over the weekend.

Corne Uys will move to inside center and Riaan Smit will move from wing to fullback.

The only other change in the starting XV is a rotational one where Tewis de Bruyn is relegated to the bench with Piet van Zyl getting a start.

The call-up of Heinrich Brussow to the Springbok squad also sees some changes on the bench.

@ Loskoppie, Johnson was called as cover, buy apparently Spies en Plesies, is fit! Go Cheetahs!!

home field advantage has been telling so far, but despite that, I believe the Cheetahs can repeat their S15 victry, it just won’t be a crushing defeat!

@Superbul: Piet van Zyl is that guy that tackled that Irish ref a few years ago, at Ellis Park. Will refs be quacking in their boots now that there is a Piet Van Zyl actually playing?
