Warrick Gelant and Salmaan Moerat have both returned to fitness and are included in the Stormers match-day squad to face Glasgow Warriors in Cape Town on Friday night.

The Stormers will be looking to make it seven consecutive home wins when they host the Scottish outfit at 6:30pm on Friday.

Despite Gelant and Moerat being fit to play, John Dobson has opted to make just two changes to the starting lineup to face Glasgow.

Frans Malherbe starts at tighthead prop, replacing Neethling Fouche, while Junior Pokomela is on the flank in place of Deon Fourie, who has not yet completely recovered from a minor leg injury.

Fit-again Moerat and Springbok fullback Gelant will both return from injury off the bench, with front-row forwards Ali Vermaak and JJ Kotze also among the replacements.

Dobson said the Stormers are looking forward to playing in front of their fans again.

“Our last match was a special occasion with an incredible atmosphere at Cape Town Stadium, so we are all really looking forward to getting back into it after a short break.

“It is fantastic to welcome back the likes of Salmaan and Warrick, while also keeping some continuity in the team.

“We know that we are in for another real test, so the focus is on taking another step up on Friday,” he said.
