Playmaker Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu joins a 28-man DHL Stormers squad for a two-match tour to the United Kingdom.
He and scrumhalf Stefan Ungerer have both recovered from injury to take their places in the touring group which includes first-time tourists Imad Khan and Simon Miller, in line to make their Stormers debut.
Marvin Orie, who took a blow to the head during the derby win in the URC against the Lions on Saturday, has also been cleared for departure but the likes of Herschel Jantjies, Frans Malherbe, Ruhan Nel, Scarra Ntubeni, Gary Porter, Evan Roos and Seabelo Senatla remain on the injury list.
The squad was set to depart Cape Town on Monday night and arrive in Glasgow on Wednesday via Doha and London. The Stormers face Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun Stadium on Sunday before turning their attention from the Vodacom United Rugby Championship to the Champions Cup rematch against London Irish on 15 January.
The squad returns to Cape Town to face Clermont Auvergne at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday, 21 January.
STATE OF THE URC: Stormers, Sharks surf winning wave
Stormers head coach John Dobson said that this two-week tour will be a real test for the depth of the squad.
“We have two tough games in conditions vastly different to what we have experienced at home in the last month, so this will be a real test for us,” he added.
“There are some experienced players missing through injury, but we are excited to see what the players coming in can offer and looking forward to the chance for the squad as a whole to grow and learn on tour together.”
