BOKS BACK FOR CHEETAHS

THE Free State Cheetahs have included three of their Springboks in their line-up for Friday night’s Bankfin Currie Cup rugby match against the Gauteng Falcons at Brakpan. Naka Drotske, Andre Venter and Os du Randt will be back in Free State colours. Brendan Venter and Jannie de Beer were not considered as they are injured. This follows allegations of unfairness against the log-leading Cheetahs over the removal of Springboks from Currie Cup ties. Although the Free State team still tops the log, it needs full points against the Falcons to be assured of home-ground advantage in the semi-final on September 4.
