Following their spirited 28-20 defeat to the Blue Bulls the Leopards go in search of a victory against the Cheetahs in Potchefstroom on Saturday.

There are two changes to the starting line-up that did battle against the Bulls, as Marius Fourie will start at hooker in place of Jacques Moller, who takes up a place on the bench.

Scrumhalf Johan Laker drops out of the match-day squad altogether, with Whesley Moolman reclaiming the No.9 jersey.

There is also a change on the bench with loose forward Juan Pretorius returning to the side having missed out last weekend.

With just one win so far this season the Leopards must make the most of their remaining home fixtures.

Leopards: 15 George Tossel, 14 Hoffman Maritz, 13 Jovan Bowles, 12 Joubert Engelbrecht, 11 Vainon Willis, 10 Wesley Dunlop, 9 Whesley Moolman, 8 Morné Hanekom (captain), 7 Luvuyiso Lusaseni, 6 Siya Mdaka, 5 Brad Mockford, 4 Brendan Snyman, 3 Stefan Bezuidenhout, 2 Marius Fourie, 1 BG Uys.
