Stormers captain Ruhan Nel is back in the midfield for their URC quarter-final clash against Cardiff in Cape Town on Saturday afternoon.
The Stormers made three changes to their starting team for the United Rugby Championship (URC) quarter-final against Cardiff on Saturday in Cape Town.
Captain Ruhan Nel returns at outside centre, and he partners Dan du Plessis in the midfield. This will mark their 30th start together, drawing level with Stormers legends De Wet Barry and Marius Joubert as the most-capped centre combination.
Seabelo Senatla is the other change at wing, with Damian Willemse, flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and left wing Leolin Zas declared fit for the clash after doubts earlier in the week.
Fullback Willemse and Zas were in a training ground collision on Wednesday, while Feinberg-Mngomezulu had the sniffles. They all trained during the captain’s run on Friday morning as the Cape side continued their build-up to the high-stakes clash.
