The Stormers starting line-up shows four changes, three of them to the forward pack and one in the backline for the North-South clash. Hooker Scarra Ntubeni is back from injury, while there is a rotational switch at tighthead prop with Neethling Fouche starting and Frans Malherbe set to make an impact off the replacements bench.

Deon Fourie is back in the starting line-up at flank, while the only change in the backline sees Herschel Jantjies start at scrumhalf. Play-maker Warrick Gelant is also set to make his return from a replacements bench.

Stormers head coach John Dobson said his team are looking forward to the match as they hunt a run of six consecutive home wins and hang onto their position at the top of the South African Shield.

“Any game between the Stormers and the Bulls is a big occasion and this one has all the makings of a classic,” said Dobson. “Our team cannot wait to run out in front of our fans on Saturday and will be giving absolutely everything to get the result.”

Bulls Director of Rugby Jake White made only once change to his starting lineup that defeated second-placed Ulster last week, with Lionel Mapoe replacing Cornal Hendricks at outside centre in a rotational switch, as they look to continue building winning momentum with the round-robin stages of the tournament nearing an end.

“After a few weeks of testing ourselves against some of the top overseas sides, we are excited to be involved in a local derby this week against an in-form side like the Stormers,” said White.

“We expect a very tough match in Cape Town. The Stormers have shown over the past few weeks how much of a competitive side they are in the URC. They beat us at Loftus Versfeld in our last encounter, and they will definitely be an even tougher opponent this weekend in their own backyard.”
