Cheetahs coach Hawies Fourie has named his team for Sunday's Currie Cup clash against the Sharks in Durban.
Fourie has made several changes to the team that drew 44-44 at home against the Lions on Wednesday.
In the backline, there's a new midfield combination with Evardi Boshoff and Chris Smit replacing David Brits and Siya Masuku.
There's also a new halfback pairing, with Tian Meyer starting at scrumhalf in place of Ruan Pienaar and Brandon Thomson at flyhalf in place of Reinhardt Fortuin.
Meyer also takes the captain's armband from Pienaar.
Up front, Mihlali Mosi replaces Aidon Davis at No 8 and Andisa Ntsila takes the No 6 jersey from Junior Pokomela.
There's also a new lock combination, with Victor Sekekete and Reinier Viljoen replacing Jean Droste and Rynier Bernardo.
There's also a new front row, with Conraad van Vuuren coming in for Aranos Coetzee at tighthead, Schalk van der Merwe replacing Cameron Dawson at loosehead and Wilmar Arnoldi starting at hooker in place of Marnus van der Merwe.
On the bench, centre Robert Ebersohn is a notable inclusion. Ebersohn recently re-signed with the Cheetahs after spending eight years in France.
The 32-year-old started his professional career at the Cheetahs, before moving abroad to represent Montpellier (2013-2016) and Castres (2016-2021).
Sunday's clash at Kings Park kicks off at 13:30.
