Cheetahs head coach Franco Smith has kept changes to a minimum for this week’s Super Rugby match against the Sharks in Durban.
Smith has made one change to the starting side as Shaun Venter and Tian Meyer rotate with Venter coming into the side and Meyer on the bench.
On the replacements bench Charles Marais will be replacing Luan de Bruin.
The Cheetahs peformance over the next two rounds will severely impact the fate of the Sharks and Bulls as the two South African side both play the Bloemfontein side in the final rounds.
The Cheetahs are already out of the running for the play offs but a victory over the Sharks this weekend could see the Bulls go through.
