Johannesburg - The Free State Cheetahs will field an unchanged team from the one that won the Vodacom Cup semi-final against Western Province ten days ago for the final against the Blue Bulls at Loftus on Friday evening.
"We are fortunate in that we can use our two SA Under-20 players," said coach Pine Pienaar on Monday. Wilton Pietersen (fullback) and Robert Ebersohn (replacement centre) were also members of the Springbok Sevens squad that won the last IRB Sevens World Series tournament in Adelaide when they beat the All Blacks in the final.
Free State team: Wilton Pietersen; Giscard Pieters, Phillip Snyman, Bernd Theissinger, Howard Noble; Sias Ebersohn, Jandre Blom; Ashley Johnson (c), Nicky Steyn, Albert Parsons, Izak van der Westhuizen, Flip van der Merwe, Phillip Lemmer, Jaco du Toit, Ronnie Uys.
Replacements: Hercu Liebenberg, Roche van der Westhuizen, Marnus Briedenhann, Pieter Gouws, Jaco Colyn, Divan van Zyl, Robert Ebersohn.
