Warrick Gelant and Scarra Ntubeni will both return from injury for the Stormers in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship derby against the Vodacom Bulls in Cape Town on Saturday.

There are three changes to the forward pack and one in the backline for the north-south clash.

In the front row, hooker Scarra Ntubeni returns from injury and there is a rotational switch at tighthead prop, with Neethling Fouche starting and Frans Malherbe set to make an impact in the second half.

Deon Fourie is back in the starting lineup on the flank while, in the only change to the backline, Herschel Jantjies starts at scrumhalf.

Warrick Gelant is also set to return from a replacements bench, which also features Brok Harris and Junior Pokomela this week.

“Any game between the Stormers and the Bulls is a big occasion and this one has all the makings of a classic,” Stormers coach John Dobson said.

“It is fantastic to have the likes of Scarra and Warrick back from injury for this game. Warrick is being managed carefully and will make a big impact from the bench as he did earlier in the season.”
