Etzebeth unleashed on Cheetahs

By Online Editors
Monday 26 Jan 2015

Star Stormers lock Eben Etzebeth is likely to be unleashed on the Cheetahs in Friday's pre-season clash at Newlands.


The powerhouse Springbok lock was rested from this past Saturday's trip to George, but will come into contention for Friday - after again training fully at the team's base in Bellville Monday.


Loose forwards Nizaam Carr and Siya Kolisi are not available for selection as yet and neither is utility back Jaco Taute (knee).


Prop Frans Malherbe (ankle) and locks Jean Kleyn (meniscus) and Ruan Botha (ankle) continue to make good progress from their long-term injuries, with Kleyn set to come into selection contention either this week or next week.


The Stormers, 34-3 victors over the SWD Eagles at Outeniqua Park at the weekend, will face up to the Cheetahs at Newlands this Friday, before concluding their three-match pre-season campaign against the Boland Cavaliers (away) on Saturday, February 7.


The Stormers team, to face the Cheetahs on Friday, will be announced on Tuesday.
