Cape Town - Coach Franco Smith has announced his team to take on Edinburgh at Murrayfield Stadium on Friday evening.
The Cheetahs are highly-motivated to get their first victory of the season.
"It’s a great honour for the team to play at Murrayfield. Murrayfield is an icon in world rugby with lots of history and tradition," said coach Franco Smith.
"We’ve made changes to team due to Gerhard Olivier’s return back home and Ryno Eksteen’s injury. We are glad to have Abongile Nonkontwana, who joined the team on tour."
Nonkontwana joined the Cheetahs earlier this year and proved himself worthy by working himself up through the SuperSport Rugby Challenge and Currie Cup.
Changes to the starting line-up see Justin Basson, Jacques du Toit and Stephan Malan included.
Kick-off on Friday is at 20:35 (SA time).
