The Stormers have selected several Springboks for their match against Edinburgh, with one Test star appointed as the new captain.
The return of Frans Malherbe has brought the count to eight Springboks in the Stormers team for Saturday’s URC showdown against Edinburgh.
After fine performance for the Springboks in the 2023 World Cup final, Malberhe suffered a back injury, but that is now a thing of the past and he slots straight back into the Stormers’ starting XV. Fullback Damian Willemse, flyhalf Manie Libbok and No 8 Evan Roos are the only Springboks in the run-on team, while front rowers Joseph Dweba and Lizo Gqoboka and scrumhalf Herschel Jantjies will power the Stormers bench.STORMERS TO PULL OUT ALL STOPS AT FORTRESS“We have some serious players coming back into the mix and after over two months it will be fantastic to be back at DHL Stadium.
