Captain Steven Kitshoff will return from an enforced break for the Stormers’ Vodacom United Rugby Championship clash with Cardiff at Cape Town Stadium on Sunday.

The encounter with the Welsh outfit kicks off at 2pm in Cape Town.

Kitshoff is back to take his place at loosehead prop after being rested last week, with Brok Harris shifting across to tighthead and Neethling Fouche among the replacements.

The backline that did duty against Zebre Parma in Stellenbosch last week is unchanged.

In the only other change to the match-day squad, hooker Chad Solomon comes on to the replacements bench in place of the injured Andre-Hugo Venter.

“We have managed to keep some continuity in our team this week, which is pleasing,” Stormers coach John Dobson said.

“We know that we can improve in many areas and we will have to be sharp as ever to get the result we need on Sunday,” he added.

Stormers – 15 Warrick Gelant, 14 Seabelo Senatla, 13 Ruhan Nel, 12 Damian Willemse, 11 Leolin Zas, 10 Manie Libbok, 9 Herschel Jantjies, 8 Evan Roos, 7 Hacjivah Dayimani, 6 Deon Fourie, 5 Marvin Orie, 4 Adre Smith, 3 Brok Harris, 2 Scarra Ntubeni, 1 Steven Kitshoff (c).
