The Cheetahs face the Reds in a Super Rugby game on Friday, March 7.

The match at Suncorp Stadium in Milton, Queensland, Australia is set for a 7:40 p.m. local time kick-off.

It will be live streamed on Fox Sports in Australia, Sky Sports in New Zealand, SuperSport in South Africa, and Sky Sports 2 in the United Kingdom. 

The Reds are coming off a loss to the Waratahs and the Cheetahs are coming off  a loss to the Rebels.

The Cheetahs suffered a major injury when Coenie Oosthuizen was ruled out for eight weeks and possibly the tournament.

The two teams have faced each other just seven times since 2006, when the Cheetahs joined Super Rugby. The Reds have won four of those matches, with the average score 21-14. The Cheetahs have never won against the Reds when the Reds are playing at home.

The Reds will bring four new starters on, back Mike Harris at inside center, Chris Feauai-Sautia at outside center, James Hanson, and Ben Daley.

The Cheetahs will bring on Maks van Dyk to replace the injured Oosthuizen.

Raymond Rhule will also be out with an injury so Willie le Roux will shirt from fullback to wing. Hennie Daniller will replace Le Roux at fullback and Rayno Benjamin will replace Cornal Hendricks on the right wring.

According to the official league website, the Reds are supposed to win by 7.
