Bloemfontein - The Cheetahs are boosted by the return of Clayton Blommetjies to their starting line-up for Friday night's PRO14 clash against Edinburgh in Bloemfontein.
Blommetjies will start in the No 15 jersey as the tournament resumes after a short break.
It is a big clash for the Cheetahs, who are third in Conference A having won four and lost four of their eight matches so far.
There is also place on the bench for flank Daniel Maartans and utility back Craig Barry, who will both be making their PRO14 debuts should they get on the park.
The rest of the Cheetahs side has a familiar feel to it, with hooker Torsetn van Jaarsveld leading a side that includes Fred Zeilinga, Shaun Venter, Makazola Mapimpi and William Small-Smith.
Kick-off on Friday night is at 19:30.
