The Cheetahs will host the British Lions in Bloemfontein this Saturday and the starting line ups have been named for both teams.

British & Irish Lions:
15 Lee Byrne 14 Leigh Halfpenny 13 Keith Earls 12 Luke Fitzgerald 11 Shane Williams 10 James Hook 9 Harry Ellis 8 Andy Powell 7 Joe Worsely 6 Stephen Ferris 5 Paul O’Connell (c) 4 Donncha O’Callaghan 3 Euan Murray 2 Ross Ford 1 Andrew Sheridan

Cheetahs:
15 Hennie Daniller 14 Danwel Demas 13 Corne Uys 12 Meyer Bosman 11 JW Jonker 10 Jacques- Louis Potgieter 9 Tewis de Bruyn 8 Hendro Scholtz (c) 7 Francois Uys 6 Heinrich Brüssow 5 David de Villiers 4 Nico Breedt 3 Kobus Calldo 2 Adriaan Strauss 1 Wian du Preez
Replacements: 16 Richardt Strauss 17 WP Nel 18 Frans Viljoen 19 Kabamba Floors 20 Gerrie Odendaal 21 Louis Strydom 22 Fabian Juries.

Cheetahs to look out for, Heinrich Brüssow who had a amazing Super 14 and was very unlucky not to make the Springbok squad. Meyer Bosman is a big strong runner and test the defense of the Lions.

All in all I am expecting a much better game than the Lion’s vs Lions from Wednesday.

Heinrich Brüssow one to watch
