Evan Roos back for Stormers for trip to the Shark Tank

The two coastal teams square off at 17h05 on Saturday in the first United Rugby Championship Origin Round, in which the players' rugby roots will be remembered and celebrated.

Rounds 10 and 11 of the inter-hemisphere showpiece will be dedicated to unearthing, showcasing, and celebrating the diverse backgrounds and locations of the URC playing group, with the players set to wear their school or club socks, while fans attending the games are also encouraged to wear their school or club jerseys or socks.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu will start at inside centre alongside his former Bishops teammate Suleiman Hartzenberg, with Dan du Plessis ruled out with an ankle niggle picked up at training this week.

Flyhalf Jurie Matthee will make his first United Rugby Championship appearance, having made his Stormers debut in the Champions Cup against Leicester Tigers in December.

Roos will start on the side of the scrum, with Hacjivah Dayimani at No.8 and Marcel Theunissen rounding out the loose trio.

Neethling Fouche will lead the team from the front row, with Joseph Dweba and Ali Vermaak alongside him.

Moerat makes his return from a shoulder injury on a replacements bench which also features Wandisile Simelane, who will make his Stormers debut when he takes the field.

Head Coach John Dobson said that after a month's break, it will be vital to find some fluency as a group as quickly as possible.

"The break was good for us and it is fantastic to welcome back some top players from injury," said Dobson.

"We go straight into a big derby game away from home, so we understand the size of the task we face in Durban and hopefully we will be able to hit our straps as quickly as possible."
