Allister Coetzee today named the DHL Stormers team to take on the Sharks, at Mr Price Kings Park – Durban, on Saturday 26 May at 19h10.

There is 1 injury enforced change and one positional change to the starting XV that beat the Waratahs last week, with Gerhard van den Heever moving up from the bench to right wing, in for the injured Joe Pietersen, who falls out of the match 22. Gio Aplon shifts from right wing to fullback, to accommodate this change.

Captain of the victorious DHL WP team, Nick Fenton-Wells, is the only change to the bench, with the coach going with a 5/2split.

This week will see Deon Fourie get his 50th cap for the DHL Stormers, should he take to the field.

    This is a massive blow for Stormers. Pietersen has been been very good this hear. He is very brave under the high ball.

    I think the guppies are on a role – will be an interesting game!

    The Guppies have me very worried indeed.
    The Breeze’s bubble must be close to popping.
    This morning had Brendan Venter and Alan Zondagh
    sounding off at the way they are playing (or
    not playing).

    I cannot believe no team has figured this out yet.

    Don’t try and go through the Stormers, go over them.

    Whenever they came up against teams that kicked very well tactically and put pressure on Duvenhage (which is not difficult) they were in trouble.
