URC: Leolin Zas returns as Stormers make four changes for big Bulls clash

Two of the changes are in the backline, with the other two in the front row for the South African derby, which kicks off at 17:00 on Saturday at Loftus Versfeld.

Wing Leolin Zas has recovered from the illness that ruled him out of the previous Origin Round clash with the Emirates Lions a fortnight ago, while the other change to the backline sees Stefan Ungerer come in at scrumhalf.

In the front row, hooker Joseph Dweba and tighthead prop Neethling Fouche both start, with the two most-capped DHL Stormers Brok Harris and Frans Malherbe set to come off the replacements bench.

Director of Rugby John Dobson said that his team is ready to give it all they have after two good weeks of preparation.

"Travelling to Loftus Versfeld is always an exciting challenge for a DHL Stormers team and we will need a full 80-minute performance to get the result we need.

"We have kept some good continuity and expect to see a higher standard across the board as we look to rise to what should be another big occasion," he said.

Stormers - 15 Warrick Gelant, 14 Ben Loader, 13 Wandisile Simelane, 12 Dan du Plessis, 11 Leolin Zas, 10 Jurie Matthee, 9 Stefan Ungerer, 8 Evan Roos, 7 Ben-Jason Dixon, 6 Deon Fourie, 5 Ruben van Heerden, 4 Salmaan Moerat, 3 Neethling Fouche, 2 Joseph Dweba, 1 Ali Vermaak.
