No Goosen against Stormers

Cape Town - Cheetahs coach Naka Drotské has named his team to face the Stormers in a Super Rugby clash in Bloemfontein on Saturday.

The coach made two changes to the starting team that lost 19-8 to the Sharks in Durban last weekend.

Raymond Rhule replaces Cornal Hendricks on the wing, with the latter moving to the bench.

Up front, Andries Ferreira comes in at lock for Lood de Jager who broke his finger in the Kings Park clash.

Flyhalf Johan Goosen has failed his concussion test and remains sidelined, while flank Lappies Labuschagné is still out with a groin injury. It was reported earlier in the week that the duo stood a chance to face the Stormers.

Kick-off for Saturday's clash at the Free State Stadium is at 17:05.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
