A 27-man DHL Stormers squad will leave Cape Town on Tuesday for a crucial two-match Vodacom United Rugby Championship tour.
The DHL Stormers are currently in fifth position on the overall standings and will take on Dragons RFC at Rodney Parade in Newport on Friday, before facing Connacht at the Sportsground in Galway on the following Saturday.
Backs Angelo Davids and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and forwards Sti Sithole and Kwenzo Blose all make their return from injury to take their places in the touring group.

DHL Stormers Director of Rugby John Dobson said that with just three rounds left ahead of the play-offs, there is everything to play for on this tour.
"The congested nature of the log shows just how competitive the Vodacom United Rugby Championship has been this season. We will need to be at our best if we are going to get the results we need.
"It is great to have the likes of Sacha, Angelo, Sti and Kwenzo back in the group and we are all looking forward to the challenges that await us in Newport and Galway," he said.
