Chucky van der Westhuizen - Returning from injury

Loading player...
The Namibian international hooker, Chucky van der Westhuizen, is set to make his return to the training field next week then the Toyota Cheetahs assemble in Bloemfontein for their preseason.
Van der Westhuizen, who has already played in three Rugby World Cups, missed the entire Currie Cup due to a knee injury.
Van der Westhuizen is one of several seasoned stars that will make a return after long-injury layoffs and it’s a big boost ahead of the EPCR Challenge Cup.
Van der Westhuizen told OFM Sport that he will have to earn his spot in the back in the squad.
The Cheetahs will face Perpignan on 8 December in the opening round of the EPCR Challenge Cup.
