Stormers start for flanker Wiese
Back-row Cobus Wiese will make his first start for the Stormers in their Super Rugby fixture against the Cheetahs in Cape Town on Saturday.
The versatile 19-year-old Junior Springbok came off the replacements bench to make his debut in the 44-31 victory against the Sunwolves in Singapore last week and moves into the starting XV in place of the injured Rynhardt Elstadt for his first Stormers appearance at Newlands.
Full-back SP Marais returns after being rested last week, with Dillyn Leyds moving back to the left wing and a fit-again Cheslin Kolbe on the right wing.
A rotational switch in midfield sees Dan du Plessis link up with EW Viljoen as Dan Kriel is set to provide impact off the replacements bench.
Scrum-half Jano Vermaak also returns from injury to partner fly-half Robert du Preez, with Dewaldt Duvenage and Kurt Coleman providing some experienced options off the replacements bench.
In the loose trio Wiese comes in alongside captain Siya Kolisi and number eight Sikhumbuzo Notshe, whilst Pieter-Steph du Toit and vice-captain Eben Etzebeth return in the second-row after being rested against the Sunwolves.
Frans Malherbe is also included in the starting line-up after missing the trip to Singapore as part of the Springbok management plan and he will line up alongside hooker Bongi Mbonambi and loosehead prop JC Janse van Rensburg in the front-row.
