Johannesburg - Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has made only two backline changes to the starting side that beat the Hurricanes last weekend for Saturday's match against the Cheetahs at Newlands.
At centre, Tim Whitehead comes in for injured Juan de Jongh, while Sireli Naqelevuki is rested with Gio Aplon returning on the wing - perhaps as a counter for the great speed of the Cheetahs wings.
On the bench Willem de Waal takes the place of Lionel Cronje who is suspended and Naqelevuki takes Aplon's place.
