Cape Town - Lock Eben Etzebeth is back from his enforced week of Springbok rest and he will be joined in the Stormers pack by loosehead prop Steven Kitshoff for Saturday's Super Rugby clash against the Brumbies at Newlands (17:05 kick-off).

Etzebeth was rested for last week’s defeat to the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein as part of the South African franchises’ agreement with SA Rugby, while Kitshoff was given a break as part of the Stormers’ rotation policy.

Etzebeth will wear the No 4 shirt this weekend, with Kitshoff lining up at loosehead prop. Jean Kleyn drops down to bench after starting against the Cheetahs, while Manuel Carizza will start at No 5 in the absence of the injured Ruan Botha (ankle).
