Cape Town - There are five changes to the Stormers forward pack and one in the backline for their Super Rugby encounter against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires on Saturday.
Kick-off is at 21:40 (SA time).
Up front, tighthead prop Wilco Louw and hooker Bongi Mbonambi join stand-in skipper Steven Kitshoff in the front row, with Neethling Fouche coming into the match-day squad as a replacement.
Eben Etzebeth is back in the starting line-up and will line up in the second row alongside JD Schickerling, with Cobus Wiese shifting to blindside flank in place of the injured Pieter-Steph du Toit and a fit-again Jaco Coetzee on the openside in the absence of regular captain Siya Kolisi, who is being rested.
Sikhumbuzo Notshe also makes his return from injury and is expected to make an impact from the replacements bench, along with utility forward Johan du Toit.
The only change to the backline sees Dan Kriel back at inside centre, with Damian de Allende among the replacements.
Stormers Head Coach Robbie Fleck said that his team will leave nothing out on the pitch in Buenos Aires.
“With a bye coming up next week we want to do everything we can to get another win on the road.
“We are excited about what this combination can achieve and will be looking to execute as accurately as possible while putting in maximum effort,” he said.
