Stormers shift Damian Willemse to centre for Benetton battle

Clayton Blommetjies comes in at fullback as Damian Willemse moves to inside centre to partner Dan du Plessis in midfield.

Angelo Davids comes in at right wing for Suleiman Hartzenberg, while centre Ruhan Nel moves to the bench.

Having featured off the replacements bench last week, Evan Roos starts at No 8, with Hacjivah Dayimani moving to blindside flank.

There are two changes to the front row, with prop Neethling Fouche and hooker JJ Kotze coming into the starting line-up.

Meanwhile, scrumhalf Paul de Wet will earn his 50th cap in the match.

Stormers Head Coach John Dobson said that it was important to ensure that everyone in the squad has enough gametime under the belt ahead of the play-offs.

"We have made a few rotational changes to make sure that everyone will be ready to perform in the knock-out phase of the competition.

"We want to raise our game and put in a confidence-building performance to take some momentum forward," he said.
