Cheetahs coach Hawies Fourie has selected Rhyno Smith on the right wing in one of two changes to his team to face Western Province in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
Kick-off is now at 16:30.
FOURIE HAS MADE 2 CHANGES TO THE CHEETAHS TEAM
Fourie tweaked his side which claimed a convincing win over the Sharks last weekend, making one change in the backline and one in the forward pack.
Smith will return to the starting line-up after playing off the bench last Sunday as he replaces William Small-Smith who will miss the match with a knee injury.
The only other change sees Wilmar Arnoldi start at hooker, with Marnus van der Merwe dropping to the bench as a result.
Fourie has opted for a six-two split between forwards and backs on the bench.
The Cheetahs are currently in fifth place on the Currie Cup log, with WP in second place.
Victory for the Cheetahs would keep them in the playoff hunt and give them a shot at defending their title.
However, a loss will make it very difficult for the Bloemfontein side to qualify for the semi-finals.
