The Cheetahs have made just one change to their starting lineup for the Currie Cup final against the Pumas in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
Veteran loosehead prop Schalk Ferreira has been ruled out of the final after suffering a concussion in the semi-final against the Vodacom Bulls.
Nqobisizwe ‘Mox’ Moxoli will wear the No 1 jersey, while former Junior Springbok Alulutho Tshakweni will provide back-up at loosehead on the bench.
The only other change to the matchday-23 sees flyhalf Siya Masuku return from a calf strain as one of two backline substitutes.
Cheetahs – 15 Tapiwa Mafura, 14 Daniel Kasende, 13 David Brits, 12 Reinhardt Fortuin, 11 Cohen Jasper, 10 Ruan Pienaar, 9 Rewan Kruger, 8 Friedle Olivier, 7 Sibabalo Qoma, 6 Gideon van der Merwe, 5 Victor Sekekete (c), 4 Rynier Bernardo, 3 Conraad van Vuuren, 2 Marnus van der Merwe, 1 Mox Moxoli.
Subs: 16 Louis van der Westhuizen, 17 Alulutho Tshakweni, 18 Hencus van Wyk, 19 Jeandre Rudolph, 20 George Cronje, 21 Daniel Maartens, 22 Siya Masuku, 23 Robert Ebersohn.
The Pumas, meanwhile, kept an unchanged starting lineup for the third match in a row, following the stunning semi-final victory over the Sharks in Durban.
