Cheetahs coach Hawies Fourie has named his team for Friday night’s Super Rugby Unlocked encounter against the Bulls in Bloemfontein.

The Cheetahs starting XV is unchanged from the one which beat the Pumas 53-31 last weekend, while there is one change on the bench with Jacques du Toit replacing Louis van der Westhuizen as the reserve hooker.

Fullback Clayton Blommetjies will also be playing his 100th game in a Cheetahs jersey, with the total spanning the team’s matches in all competitions.
