Reds unchanged for Cheetahs

Cape Town - The Reds have announced an unchanged side to play the Cheetahs in a Super Rugby clash in Brisbane on Saturday (kick-off 11:45 SA time).

That means James Slipper again captains the side, with Karmichael Hunt at fullback and Liam Gill at openside flank.

Reds co-interim head coach Nick Stiles said: “We played well in patches in South Africa but we were disappointed not to get the results we were after.

"We were able to push two good teams, away from home in hostile environments, we just need to deliver an 80-minute performance.

“The Cheetahs are a good side and we’ve had some close matches with them in recent years.

"The group’s sole focus this week has been on preparing well to deliver a performance we and our fans can we proud of."

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