Vodacom Stormers coach Rassie Erasmus on Thursday announced his side for the Super 14 match against the Cheetahs at Newlands on Saturday (kick-off: 15:00).
He made only one change to the side that beat the Western Force in Perth in the last game of the overseas leg of their campaign, according to www.thestormers.com.
Lock Ross Skeate goes back to the bench, with Erasmus preferring the heavier and more physical approach of Adriaan Fondse against the strong Cheetah pack.
Fondse was on the bench in the last game.
Scrumhalf Bolla Conradie is back from injury. He was forced to come back home early from tour due to a leg injury.
This week, however, there was doubt about his participation in Saturday’s game because of a bout of the flu.
The Springbok has been declared fit and he replaces the young Conrad Hoffmann.
Veteran All Black flyhalf Tony Brown is still on the bench, with Erasmus preferring to start with Peter Grant again.

Well at least WIllie Doos aint the ref. 🙄
Not a bad bench at all… Brok Harris on the udda hend! 👿
when are you guys going to get a proper left wing?
why not play Sireli @13 and move Slow slow to the wing
What’s wrong with Egon “in 60” Seconds?
Egon has been released from his contract! 👿
Wylie Human seems to be his replacement.
Egon is currently playing for Hamiltons.
I wonder if Luke Titus is injured???
but he was good… wasn’t he?
Sireli plays touch rugby… 🙄
The good news is that Schalk Ferreira is training with the Stormers, so hopefully that wasn’t a career ending injury.
blerry cheater will probably win just to screw our chances 👿 🙄
