DHL Stormers Change Four For Munster Clash

 

There are three changes to the DHL Stormers’ starting forward pack and one in the backline for their Vodacom United Rugby Championship encounter with Munster at DHL Stadium on Saturday at 18:15 (SA Time).

The only change to the backline sees Paul de Wet start at scrumhalf in a rotational switch with Herschel Jantjies, who will feature off the replacements bench.

In the forward pack, Ruben van Heerden partners Marvin Orie in the second row, while Hacjivah Dayimani and Willie Engelbrecht join Ben-Jason Dixon to form the loose trio.

Loose forward Evan Roos is also set to make his return from injury from the replacements bench.

DHL Stormers Head Coach John Dobson said that his team are looking forward to playing at home as they look to make it 20 consecutive wins at DHL Stadium.

“We have had some incredible support at home this season and we know that it will be another special atmosphere on Saturday.

“This is a great opportunity for us to build some momentum as we head towards the playoffs and with DHL Western Province playing first it promises to be another memorable double-header,” he said.
