Saturday morning’s action begins with the Cheetahs’ second tour match, against the Highlanders on the depths of New Zealand’s South Island.
Naka Drotske will be hoping for a better showing from his team, who went down heavily to the Chiefs last week, but the Highlanders themselves are hardly likely to be in a charitable mood as they go in search of their own maiden win of the 2013 campaign.
Kick off is at 08h35 SA time.
Highlanders: 15 Ben Smith, 14 Kade Poki, 13 Phil Burleigh, 12 Ma’a Nonu, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Lima Sopoaga, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Jake Paringatai, 7 John Hardie, 6 Joe Wheeler, 5 Josh Bekhuis, 4 Brad Thorn, 3 Ma’afu Fia, 2 Andrew Hore (captain), 1 Tony Woodcock.
Replacements: 16 Brayden Mitchell, 17 Chris King, 18 Jarrad Hoeata, 19 Tim Boys, 20 Fumiaki Tanaka, 21 Colin Slade, 22 Shaun Treeby.
Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Willie le Roux, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Robert Ebersohn, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Johan Goosen, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Pieter Labuschagne, 6 Frans Viljoen, 5 Francois Uys, 4 Lodewyk de Jager, 3 Lourens Adriaanse, 2 Adriaan Strauss (captain), 1 Trevor Nyakane.

Well done Cheetahs.
What a game by the Cheetahs…giving the Highlanders a lesson in rugby…
The Highlanders halfback pair poor…physically dominated and with that the skill goes…
