Cheetahs head coach Naka Drotske has selected the same starting XV for this Saturday's clash with the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld.

There are however three changes to the bench.

Coenie Oosthuizen returns in the 18 jersey in place of Rossouw de Klerk, while second Ligtoring Landman is also picked.

The main news however is the return of Springbok fly-half Johan Goosen to the bench, with Elgar Watts returning the starting fly-half berth.

Despite last week's win the Cheetahs are still 14th in Super Rugby, six points behind the Bulls in the South African Conference.

Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Raymond Rhule, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Ryno Benjamin, 11 Willie le Roux, 10 Elgar Watts, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Boom Prinsloo, 7 Jean Cook, 6 Heinrich Brussow, 5 Francois Uys, 4 Andries Ferreira, 3 Maks van Dyk, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Caylib Oosthuizen.
Replacements: 16 Torsten van Jaarsveld, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Coenie Oosthuizen, 19 Ligtoring Landman, 20 Teboho Mohoje, 21 Shaun Venter, 22 Johan Goosen, 23 Cornal Hendricks.

I thought Goosen was starting last week, but good to see him back this week. He will probably get on in the 50th minute, ditto Coenie.
Elgar Watts is a useful number 10, much better than some of the Stormers options at 10. 
Goosen has not been as good in 2014, as he was in 2012. He probably started his senior career to young, hopefully he can get more game time and keep getting better. 
I would still start him at 10 for the Boks, even though his form is not 100%.
