Cape Town - Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has named his team to face the Crusaders in their Vodacom Super Rugby semi-final at Newlands on Saturday.
Kick-off is at 17:05.
As expected, Conrad Jantjes has been picked to start in the No 15 jersey, in a side that has a decidedly conservative look to it.
Tiaan Liebenberg is favoured at hooker over Deon Fourie, while Nick Koster is the injury-enforced change to the back row in the place of Duane Vermeulen.
Besides the inclusion of Jantjes in the backline, Gio Aplon moves to the wing with Jean de Villiers returning to centre. As a result, Juan de Jongh will be on the bench.
Midweek recruit from Saracens, Schalk Brits, has also been named on the bench as cover at loose forward.
Teams:
Stormers:
15 Conrad Jantjes, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Jaque Fourie, 12 Jean de Villiers, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Dewaldt Duvenage, 8 Nick Koster, 7 Francois Louw, 6 Schalk Burger (captain), 5 Andries Bekker, 4 Rynhardt Elstadt, 3 Brok Harris, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Wicus Blaauw
Substitutes: 16 Deon Fourie, 17 Steven Kitshoff, 18 Anton van Zyl, 19 Schalk Brits, 20 Louis Schreuder, 21 Juan de Jongh, 22 Johann Sadie
