Cheetahs forced into three changes

Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske has made three enforced changes to his starting XV to face the Reds on Saturday.
Hennie Daniller (stomach), Lionel Mapoe (shoulder) and Frans Viljoen (jaw) are all injured and have been replaced by Riaan Viljoen, Danwel Demas and Ashley Johnson respectively.
However, the Free State franchise have been boosted by the news that Hendro Scholtz's ankle problem is not as serious as first thought, meaning the flanker is fit to start.
Drotske's team, who were beaten 21-8 by the Stormers at the weekend, are currently 10th on the log with two wins from their five games thus far.
This is their final home game before departing for the away leg of the competition and the coach has outlined the importance of victory.
He said: "I think it is very important that we achieved another before our departure.
"It is vital because of the good momentum it can give us."
