Cape Town - Sunwolves coach Mark Hammett has named his team for their Super Rugby encounter against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Friday (19:00 kick-off).
Hammett made a few changes to the team that lost 46-19 to the Stormers in Cape Town last weekend.
Playmaker Tusi Pisi is back at flyhalf after being rested against the Stormers last week. He replaces Yu Tamura in the No 10 jersey.
Mifiposeti Paea moves to the wing after playing in the midfield against the Stormers. He replaces the injured Akihito Yamada, while Derek Carpenter's new midfield partner will be Harumichi Tatekawa.
Up front, Liaki Moli moves to the second row to replace the suspended Timothy Bond, while veteran lock Hitoshi Ono also returns to the starting XV.
Hammett has also shuffled his back row with Tomás Leonardi starting at flank, while Ed Quirk moves to No 8.
Andrew Durutalo, who came off the bench against the Stormers, will wear the No 7 jersey.
