Manjezi starts, Ghudian called up with Wiese withdrawn due to illness

Cobus Wiese has been withdrawn from the matchday 23 that will do duty in the fifth round of the 2024 Carling Currie Cup where the Vodacom Bulls take on the Toyota Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.

Wiese has been withdrawn due to a medical illness which sees Sintu Manjezi starting in his place.

Manjezi was initially a part of the impact squad and that spot is now filled by 20-year-old Junior Springbok back-rower, Ghudian van Reenen.

The match kicks off at 5pm and will be broadcast live on SuperSport.
