Only one change for Vodacom Stormers

He made only one change to the side that beat the Western Force in Perth in the last game of the overseas leg of their campaign.

Lock Ross Skeate goes back to the bench, with Erasmus preferring the heavier and more physical approach of Adriaan Fondse against the strong Cheetah pack.

Fondse was on the bench in the last game.

Scrumhalf Bolla Conradie is back from injury. He was forced to come back home early from tour due to a leg injury.

This week, however, there was doubt about his participation in Saturday’s game because of a bout of the flu.

The Springbok has been declared fit and he replaces the young Conrad Hoffmann.

Veteran All Black flyhalf Tony Brown is still on the bench, with Erasmus preferring to start with Peter Grant again.
