Investec Stormers name unchanged team

Kick-off is 09:30 (SA time). The Stormers arrived back in New Zealand on Tuesday after playing their penultimate league game in Christchurch two Saturdays ago.

Having to fly back and forth between New Zealand and South Africa twice in nine days and having previously lost to the Crusaders means the Stormers are regarded as ranked underdogs in that country, but Smal warns they will have more bite this time round.

”I think that (loss) is just the nature of the Super 12,” he said. ”If you lose, then you must prepare for the next game.

“This is a new game with new combinations and we are excited to be in a semi-final.”
