Cape Town - Forwards Bongi Mbonambi and Nizaam Carr have been named in the Stormers' starting XV for Saturday's Super Rugby clash against the Lions at Emirates Airlines Park (kick-off 19:10).
Mbonambi will make his first start for the Stormers in a rotational change at hooker, with Scarra Ntubeni reverting to the bench, whilst Springbok loose forward Carr comes in for the injured Rynhardt Elstadt in the No 6 jersey.
Elstadt suffered a serious leg injury against the Blues last week - a game the Stormers won 27-16 - and will be out of action for at least four months.
