Defense and discipline head the priorities for the Blues as they look to shake off their poor start to the Super Rugby season with Saturday's clash against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.
Successive losses to the Chiefs and Stormers have Sir John Kirwan's side struggling and a clash with the unpredictable Cheetahs looms as another banana skin.
Last week's 27‑16 loss to the Stormers in Cape Town was littered with errors, not helped by losing lock Hayden Triggs after 24 minutes when he was sent off for punching.
The Reds will meet the Highlanders at 6.35pm Friday while Western Force will meet the Hurricanes at 11.00pm.
On Saturday, the Cheetahs will face the Blues at 5.10am, the Chiefs meet the Crusaders at 6.35pm while the Rebels will clash with the Brumbies at 8.40pm.
On Sunday the Bulls will meet the Sharks at 3.05am while the Lions will face the Stormers at 5.10am.
