The competition for starting berths for the 2014 Super 15 is hotting up. It is reported that coach Naka Drotské has selected Caylib Oosthuizen to start in the loosehead position ahead of Bok Trevor Nyakane, based on form shown in the prior warm-up matches played.
According to reports the team selected for their last warm up match versus the Currie Cup 1st Division Champions of 2013, Steval Pumas, will be as close as possible to the side that the coaches would want to run out in the opening fixture of the 2014 Super Rugby tournament, versus the Lions on 15 February 2014.
The match will also see a venue change and will now take place at the Old Greys Sports Grounds in Bloemfontein and not at the Fezile Dabi Stadium in Parys.
Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Cornal Hendricks, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Francois Venter, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Johan Goosen, 9 Shaun Venter, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Lappies Labuschagne, 6 Jean Cook, 5 Francois Uys, 4 Lood de Jager, 3 Coenie Oosthuizen, 2 Adriaan Strauss (Captain), 1 Caylib Oosthuizen.
Replacements: 16 Ryno Barnes, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Ligtoring Landman, 19 Boom Prinsloo, 20 Sarel Pretorius, 21 Elgar Watts, 22 Rayno Benjamin, 23 Riaan Smit, 24 Maks van Dyk.
I rate Caylib, he can go all the way, he is a big loss and big gain to the Lions and Cheetahs
Is he not really a tighthead?
This will be very close to the final Cheetahs run-on team when Super Rugby starts on 15 Feb.
