Stormers: Joseph Dweba will back up his words after Munster smack talk

Hlungwani was referring to Dweba's harsh words used in a video of the Stormers celebrating Munster's win over Leinster that subsequently handed the side a home final. The Bok hooker made it clear in no uncertain terms that the Stormers were now going to thump Munster, despite the Irish outfit being the only side to beat them at home in the last two years.

That's the kind of talk that could get your opposition fired up, but Hlungwani said he understands that Dweba is a mouthy player and expects the star to back up what he said. The assistant coach underlined that the Stormers respect Munster highly.

"Joseph is a very bubbly player, he's got a mouth on him. But he is one guy who backs up his words. What was said is not something that was meant to go out in public and stuff like that. So it is not necessarily his fault. It is not something that we had a long chat about.

"At the end of the day, we respect Munster. They are coming here with a strong team, we respect them highly."

The Stormers also receive a massive boost as influential Springboks duo Deon Fourie and Marvin Orie, both of which missed the semi-final due to injury, will be available for selection this weekend.

"Marvin and Deon are both training, they have been training since last week.

"They are available for selection."

Munster also received several injury boosts with RG Snyman, Conor Murray and Malakai Fekitoa some of the high-profile stars to return.

When asked about how the Stormers will approach Snyman's influence, Hlungwani claimed the focus is on their game only.

"No, we will be keeping tabs on how we want to impose our game on them."

It is all set for a fantastic final that was sold out in less than three hours with 55,000 fans set to descend on DHL Stadium.

There is a contingent of around 5,000 Munster fans expected to make the trip to Cape Town for what should be a stunning occasion.
