Cheetahs coach Hawies Fourie has selected four capped Springboks, including Frans Steyn, in his team to front the Invitational side made up of players from around the country in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
Apart from Steyn claiming the No 12 jersey, Fourie has selected captain Ruan Pienaar at scrumhalf, Oupa Mohoje at blindside flank and Jacques Potgieter, who covers the back row and the second row, is on the bench.
In the quality-laden backline, Clayton Blommetjies cracks the nod at fullback with Craig Barry and Rosko Specman the wings. Dries Swanepoel partners Steyn in midfield and Brandon Thomson is the flyhalf in the halfback axis with Pienaar.
