The Cheetahs will produce a more solid performance in the scrums this week, with a strengthened arsenal up front.
That's according to assistant coach Hawies Fourie.
Head coach Naka Drotske included stalwarts Coenie Oosthuizen and WP Nel, both returning from injury, in the Cheetahs' starting line-up for their Super Rugby match against the Hurricanes in Wellington this weekend.
The tourists almost caused an upset against the Crusaders in Christchurch last week, going down 28-21, but they were ultimately outplayed in the scrums.
Meanwhile Deon Stegmann and Willie Wepener have been ruled out of contention for the Bulls team, which will play the Stormers at Newlands on Saturday.
Team doctor Org Strauss today confirmed that Stegmann's troublesome hamstring did not recover sufficiently to play in the Super Rugby clash.
Wepener picked up an infection of some facial muscle and was ruled unfit to play.
Coach Frans Ludeke will announce his team to play the Stormers today.
