Stormers won't risk Rhodes

Cape Town - Stormers loose forward Mike Rhodes will miss his team's Super Rugby clash against the Chiefs at Newlands on Saturday.

Rhodes has not recovered fully from the bang to the knee he took against the Lions at the end of last month and after sitting out his team’s 29-13 win over the Sharks last Saturday, he will not be risked this weekend either, according to the Stormers' official website.

Lock Ruan Botha and wing Kobus van Wyk are back in the selection mix this week, as is Jurie van Vuuren, as the Stormers get set to host New Zealand’s Conference leaders.
