Cheetahs change two for WP

Johannesburg - The Free State Cheetahs made two changes from their team that thrashed the Sharks ahead of their Currie Cup clash against Western Province at Newlands this coming Saturday.

Rayno Benjamin comes in for Riaan Smit on the right wing, while Francois Uys drops to the bench with Wilhelm Steenkamp getting a start at lock.

The Cheetahs are currently fourth on the Currie Cup log with 30 points, two behind the second-placed WP and 12 behind log-leaders, the Golden Lions.
