DHL Stormers Shuffle Pack for Munster

There are four changes to the DHL Stormers starting forward pack for their Vodacom United Rugby Championship encounter with Munster at DHL Stadium on Saturday.

The DHL Stormers’ first home game of the season will see them host the Irish side, with kick-off at 18h00 on Saturday at DHL Stadium.

Prop Sti Sithole and hooker Joseph Dweba come back into the starting line-up, while lock Adre Smith will make his first start of the season with JD Schickerling in the No.5 jersey and Ruben van Heerden set to make an impact in the second half in a rotational switch.

Marcel Theunissen will start at openside flank, with loose forwards Dave Ewers and Louw Nel both among the replacements.

The only change to the backline sees Suleiman Hartzenberg back on the right wing, while Springbok flyhalf Herschel Jantjies will make his return from injury on a replacements bench which also features flyhalf Jurie Matthee.

Director of Rugby John Dobson said that his team is looking forward to playing in front of their supporters for the first time this season.

“We were disappointed with the way our tour ended last week, so this is a great opportunity to respond with a big performance at home.

There are some rotational changes and it is fantastic to welcome Herschel back into the mix. We are back in front of our fans at DHL Stadium and it is vital that we make the most of the support we know we will get here,” he said.

DHL Stormers: 15 Warrick Gelant, 14 Suleiman Hartzenberg, 13 Ruhan Nel, 12 Dan du Plessis (captain), 11 Leolin Zas, 10 Damian Willemse, 9 Paul de Wet, 8 Keke Morabe, 7 Ben-Jason Dixon, 6 Marcel Theunissen, 5 JD Schickerling, 4 Adre Smith, 3 Neethling Fouche, 2 Joseph Dweba, 1 Sti Sithole.
Replacements: 16 Andre-Hugo Venter, 17 Brok Harris, 18 Sazi Sandi, 19 Ruben van Heerden, 20 Dave Ewers, 21 Louw Nel, 22 Herschel Jantjies, 23 Jurie Matthee.

  1. None Knows What Happened to Hansie Cronje: People who have been following South African sports for a long time must know that Hansie Cronje was behind match-fixing in 2000. Soon after the dark secret got revealed, he died in a plane crash in 2002. Many experts say it was a planned murder by the criminals behind the scandal. But due to lack of evidence, none can prove the actual cause of death, and it still lingers in the history of South African sports as one of the biggest mysteries.
