Coach Allister Coetzee today named a match 22, to take on the Lions in Johannesburg on Saturday.

CJ van Der Linde gets a start and will wear the number 3 jersey, as Brok Harris, is rotated to the bench.

Lock Rynhardt Elstadt falls out of the match 22 having not recovered from the blow to the upper leg sustained in the game against the Reds. In his absence, De Kock Steenkamp starts at 4, with Anton Van Zyl moving up from the Vodacom Cup team to provide cover on the bench.

Bryan Habana falls out of the match 22 after not recovering fully from the knock he took to his shoulder on the weekend. In a positional change, Gio Aplon will wear the 11 jersey, whilst Conrad Jantjes takes over the fullback duties, having played Vodacom Cup last week.

The DHL Stormers will have their second bye week after the fixture against the MTN Lions. All of Habana, De Villiers and Elstadt are expected to be fit for the game against the Sharks at DHL Newlands on 30 April.
