Lood de Jager
The Toyota Cheetahs could be boosted by the return of several key players for their Super Rugby clash against the DHL Stormers on Saturday.
Lock Lood de Jager (elbow), scrumhalf Sarel Pretorius (shoulder), flyhalf Joe Pietersen (shoulder) and flank Tienie Burger (concussion) could all return to action in the clash at Newlands (17:05 SA Time).
No 8 Willie Britz, who injured his elbow in last weekend’s 40 / 17 defeat to the Lions, could also be ready to face the Stormers.
However, confirmation about the players’ availability will only be known later in the week.
The return of Springbok lock De Jager, in particular, would please national coach Heyneke Meyer. The 2nd rower had been sidelined since injuring himself against the Cell C Sharks in the 1st match of this year’s Super Rugby competition.
It is believed that De Jager could be given 30 minutes of game time on Saturday.
