DHL Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has made few changes to the squad that lost their opening match against the Bulls last weekend.
Jaco Taute is omitted as a precautionary measure, which sees Joe Pietersen start at No 15, with Frans Malherbe rotating off the bench to start at No 3. Pat Cilliers moves to the bench and Louis Schreuder comes onto the bench at the expense of Dewaldt Duvenage.
Juan de Jongh is close to match readiness but will not be risked this weekend. Similarly with Tiaan Liebenberg, who trained with the team today but will probably come into contention for selection against the Chiefs.
Peter Grant starts on the bench after his return from Japan last week.
The DHL Stormers team to take on the Sharks is as follows:
15. Joe Pietersen
14. Gio Aplon
13. Jean de Villiers (Captain)
12. Damian de Allende
11. Bryan Habana
10. Elton Jantjies
9. Nic Groom
8. Duane Vermeulen (Vice-captain)
7. Rynhardt Elstadt
6. Siya Kolisi
5. Andries Bekker
4. De Kock Steenkamp
3. Frans Malherbe
2. Deon Fourie
1. Steven Kitshoff
Replacements:
16. Martin Bezuidenhout
17. Pat Cilliers
18. Don Armand
19. Nizaam Carr
20. Louis Schreuder
21. Peter Grant
22. Gerhard van den Heever
Referee: Jonathan Kaplan

35 @ Ashley:
Kyk, daai ouens wat so se, hap ‘n bubble!
Die gemiddelde wit Suid-Afrikaner het 8% anderskleurige bloed wat in sy are vloei… en die gemiddelde swart Suid-Afrikaner (nie Zimbabweër of Nigeriër nie) het weer op sy beurt so klompie wit bloed wat deur sy are vloei…. en die cullerds het so klompie bloed wat in hulle alkoholstroom vloei…
So ons is mos maar almal mense uit Afrika, vir mekaar gemaak… het mekaar gemaak, maak nou deurmekaar, mekaar… die reenboognasie!
Of wat praat ek nou?
gbs @ 36
moetitie soe ernstig opvattie broetsie
ekt net ñ grap gemaak omdat baie allblack/crusaders/blues ens ens ondersteuners se uitgangspunt is dat hulle nooit die (kom ons noem dit maar) blankes sal ondersteun nie …. ons vraag gewoonlik is maar wat vannie blankes in nz, waarop die antwoord gewoonlik is: “maar dis nie dieselfde nie” vandaar ons vriende se gesegde oor die europeans, lol
37 @ Ashley:
Nee, is seker so… ons kannie die verlede uitwis nie.
Maar ons kan mekaar die hand reik en vorentoe kyk….
Anyway, hierdie issie ‘n politieke site nie, netnou moet ek myself ban vir 7 dae… hehehe

i could never understand the race thing TBH. i was way to young to understand apartheid and the implications of it
i support the AB’s cos of the way they play..been supporting them since Jonah Lomu days when i was a wee pikkanin; though i was very proud when the Boks won the 95 RWC.
i come from a household where no one really follows rugby and understands the as i do….so i guess im just weird lol.
