Benjamin out against Waratahs

Johannesburg - Cheetahs left wing Ryno Benjamin will miss his side's Vodacom Super Rugby clash against the Waratahs in Sydney, Australia on Saturday after being ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Fabian Juries will replace Benjamin while Frans Viljoen will take Juries's place on the bench.

This means the Cheetahs will go into the match with five forwards and two backs on the bench.

The Cheetahs start their overseas tour without a win from four starts this season and will face the Waratahs, the Reds, the Blues and the Hurricanes over the next four weeks before returning to South Africa.
