Johannesburg - Cheetahs coach Naka Drotské made two changes to the side that lost to the Bulls last weekend.
Hennie Daniller will receive a starting berth at fullback for Saturday's clash against the Sharks in Bloemfontein.
Riaan Smit will move to the bench with Riaan Viljoen shifting to wing from his usual fullback position.
The Cheetahs made one forced injury change with flanker Kabamba Floors being sidelined with a knee ligament injury.
He will be replace by Johan Wessels who made an impression when he came on for Floors in last weekend's Bulls clash.
Former Stormers flanker Pieter Myburgh could make his debut for the Cheetahs after he was named on the bench for Saturday's match.
