Scrumhalf Herschel Jantjies returns from injury in place of the injured Godlen Masimla, while Edwill van der Merwe is on the wing, having played off the replacements bench last week.

Willie Engelbrecht is at blindside flank in place of Pieter-Steph du Toit, who is being rested this week, while Ernst van Rhyn is at lock with Marvin Orie ruled out due to concussion protocols.

Prop Ali Vermaak, loose forward Juarno Augustus and flyhalf Tim Swiel have all been named among the replacements on their return from injury.

Stormers Head Coach John Dobson said that his team is looking for an accurate performance in Johannesburg.

“We want to show that we are capable of delivering an 80-minute performance and this is a great opportunity to do so.

“The team has trained well this week and we are determined to put together a cohesive effort to get the result that we need,” he said.
