Malherbe in line for return

Cape Town - Tighthead prop Frans Malherbe is poised to return to action when the Stormers host the Blues at Newlands on Saturday.

The Springbok front-rower suffered an ankle fracture in Argentina in August last year and since then has been kicking his heels on the sidelines.

Stormers coach Allister Coetzee, speaking to the media at Monday's briefing in Bellville, said that Malherbe has returned to full training.
