Cape Town - Cheetahs coach Naka Drotské has picked the same starting team that lost to the Lions for their Super Rugby clash against the Bulls in Bloemfontein on Friday night.
The Cheetahs surprisingly went down 21-20 to the Lions at the Free State Stadium last weekend, but the coach has resisted the temptation to change his run-on XV.
The only change is on the bench where Hennie Daniller replaces Rayno Benjamin.
Johan Goosen will start at flyhalf despite injuring his arm against the Lions. Scan results showed no tear or any further injury to his arm.
Kick-off is at 19:10 on Friday.
