Perth - Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has made four personnel changes to his starting XV ahead of their final Super Rugby tour match on Saturday - against the Western Force in Perth (kick-off 13:45 SA time).

Hooker Bongi Mbonambi, lock Ruan Botha, flank Siya Kolisi and scrumhalf Louis Schreuder will all start this week, with prop Alistair Vermaak and loose forward Sikhumbuzo Notshe the new faces on the bench.

Notshe joins the match-day 23 this week as a replacement for Kolisi, who will start at No 6 - with Schalk Burger moving across to No 7 - in the absence of Michael Rhodes, who flew home with a hamstring tear suffered against the Waratahs last weekend.
