Coleman, Vermaak start for Stormers

Kurt Coleman and Jano Vermaak will start as the new halfback pairing for the Stormers against the Sharks in Durban on Saturday.

In a new-look backline, Coleman and Vermaak start in tandem ahead of Dillyn Leyds and Dewaldt Duvenhage. The switch-up sees Leyds shift to the left wing in place of Seabelo Senatla, who drops to the bench.
