DHL Stormers change one for Benetton

Today at 05:01 AM

There is just one change to the DHL Stormers starting line-up for their Vodacom United Rugby Championship encounter with Benetton at DHL Stadium on Saturday.

Leolin Zas makes his return on the left wing for the Vodacom United Rugby Championship Kids Round fixture, which kicks off at 18h15 on Saturday.

Suleiman Hartzenberg will make an impact off the replacements bench along with scrumhalf Herschel Jantjies and utility forward Connor Evans, who has replaced the injured Deon Fourie.

Director of Rugby John Dobson said that it was important to keep continuity in selection for what is a vital match in the context of the season.

“We know that we will have to be much better this week than we were last week, so we wanted settled combinations in place.

“There was a lot we did right against Connacht and the challenge will be to ensure all aspects of our game are firing against what is a very tough Benetton side,” he said.

DHL Stormers: 15 Warrick Gelant, 14 Seabelo Senatla, 13 Dan du Plessis, 12 Damian Willemse, 11 Leolin Zas, 10 Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, 9 Stefan Ungerer, 8 Evan Roos, 7 Marcel Theunissen, 6 Paul de Villiers, 5 Ruben van Heerden, 4 Salmaan Moerat (captain), 3 Sazi Sandi, 2 André-Hugo Venter, 1 Ali Vermaak.
Replacements: 16 JJ Kotze, 17 Vernon Matongo, 18 Brok Harris, 19 JD Schickerling, 20 Connor Evans, 21 Louw Nel, 22 Herschel Jantjies, 23 Suleiman Hartzenberg.
